              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 by Pádraig Ó Treasaigh (Laois):

              'We meet again, the master and the student
              The one a sadder but a wiser man, the other still imprudent
              But age and youth, have one same thought
              That Erin's soul shall ne'er be bought.
              Soon may her Freedom's star arise
              And soon may be her foe's demise.
              Then you and I from fetters free
              Shall haste to Leix and Offaly.
              But we together shall come again
              As free, unfettered, unshackled men.
              And then we'll fill and quaff the glass
              That ours and Erin's dawn has come at last.'
