          Quote from Pádraig Pearse transcribed by Pádraig Ó Catháin (Carlow), the Long Hut, Tintown Camp:

          'We know only one definition of freedom - it is Tone's definition, it is Mitchell's definition, it is Rossa's definition. Let no man blaspheme the cause which the dead generations of Ireland have served by calling it by any other name and definition, than by their name and definition.'

          Note transcribed by Pádraig S. MacGioraidh, Hut 5, Tintown (Baile Stáin):

          Ná déan dearmad - 'Sí Éire ár dtír agus níl saoirsin againn fós. No one can be base now to barter away that for which our noblest have given up their lives and so though the moment is dark and the world unheeding, confident of the final success, with calm deliberation let us face the the future ready to endure whatever yet may be necessary to win for those who come after us the priceless boon of permanent peace and secure liberty in their native land. 'Ní neart go cur le chéile'.

          Verse transcribed by T. J. Casey, Hut 28:

          'The R.I.C.

          Many lands have slaves and traitors who would sell their race for gold
          Who would lead the greedy wild beast, on the unprotected fold
          But the meanest vilest wretch of all that curse the Earth today
          Is the Irish-born slaveling who would fight in England's pay'

          Verse transcribed by Jimmie Egan, Hut 25 ,of Henry Street, Tullamore:

          'Where ever England's forces assemble
          on land on sea or in air
          We pray thee Oh Lord God of Battle
          to send all thy thunderbolts there
          Wherever her plotters are plotting
          Wherever her fortresses frown
          With thy vengeance as vivid as lightening
          Strike her down Oh Lord God!
          Strike her down.'
