A New SONG Lately come from IRELAND.

To the Tune of, Cabaleiro-man.
I.
THere was an Irish Army brave,
That a Popish Prince of Wales would have;
An Hen-peckt King, and a Priest-ridden Queen,
They gallantly fought for on the Green,
they gallantly, &c.
II.
They fought with many a bloody Curse,
But few of their Enemies were the worse;
They charg'd when they could see no Foes,
For they love to fight, but hate the blows,
for they, &c.
III.
The Valiant General Tyrconnel,
Mac Guire, mac Carty and mac Donnel;
Mac Pope, mac D [...]vil, and all were along,
With an Army Threescore Thousand strong,
with an Army, &c.
IV.
They plagu'd and plundr'd Protestants well,
And spansil Thieves good pen-worths did sell;
They took the Garrisons every where,
Because no Enemy did appear,
because no, &c.
V.
They charg'd their Guns with Powder & Ball,
And prim'd their Noses with sneezing all;
Then
your Souls to the Devil
Hannum-an-Diowl you figgs they cry,
St. Patrick now for Ireland hey,
St. Patrick now, &c.
VI.
At last they heard an English-Drum,
be­ware the English ­man
Huggut a Sasanagh yonder they come;
Then away they throw both Pike and Gun,
And Shant, and Teige, and Dermot, do run,
and Shane, and Teige, &c.
VII.
Stay a while Teige, arroo
stay, stay, stay,
furry, furry, furry,
No be me shoul, a wirry, wirry, wirry;
By the Virgin Mary we are all undone,
For Shane, and Teige, and Dermot do run,
for Shane, &c.
VIII.
Arroo shoulder your Pike,
put your Pike on your back.
cur a Peek er da wholen,
Or else we must pay for the Cows we have sto­len;
the Devil take your head.
Fogrim da shian, arroo fire your Gun,
No be me shoul to de Bogg I will run,
no be me shoul, &c.
IX.
Now the devil take all our Priests & our Fryars,
by my shoul
Der diegh they have left us fast in the bry­ars;
by my Go­sips hand
Lawmaharrus-Chreist we are all undone,
For Shane, and Teige, and Dermot do run,
for Shane, &c.
X.
We have lost both Purgat'ry and our Estate,
Both the Field & the Bench we bragg'd of late;
For now the good Catholick days are done,
Since Shane, and Teige, and Dermot do run,
since Shane, &c.
XI.
Dear joys give us leave to return to our brogues,
We'll burn our Paddreens and leave off to be Ro­gues;
To serve K. William or any that come,
Poor Shane, and Teige, and Dermot will run,
poor Shane, &c.
XII.
Our Popish Queen and Catholick Cause,
We'll quite forsake and yield to the Laws:
We'll grant our Prince of Wales is beshit,
And own him to be but a counterfeit Chit,
and own him to be, &c.
XIII.
my dear joy.
A-gra-ma-chree, come do what you will,
Henceforth we will be for the Protestants still;
In paying you Rent, and kissing your bum,
Poor Shane, and Teige, and Dermot will run,
poor Shane, &c.
