NEWS FROM IRELAND
Michael Dryer.
In the glen of dark Imaile by the Lunga-
quilla rock,
Where the bracken grows three
thousand feet above the morning
wave,
There was born the Chieftain Dwyer, Of
sturdy fighting stock
l will tell you how he saved him
from rebels lowly grave,
For he fought when men were fighting
in the year of ninety-eight,
With a dauntless heart as leader of
the Instruction men.
And the troops, in killed plaidies, were
patroling and in wait,
Through the mountains, for the cap
ture of the hero of tine glen.
At last they saw him sleeping in st.
kevin's bed alone;
Those Highanders, commanded by
the sergeant, Donald Bane,
A champion he. of Scotland. with the
saber or the stone,
Or the bullet with the billet that
would bore q rebels brain.
He lifted up his weapon to his Shout
der, and a shot
Rcsounded DER the water, as Dwyer
from his bed
Sprang up. and panied and bleeding
from the wound that he had got,
Like redshank up the mountain with
flying foot he sped.
They saw him climb the bracken with
the fleetness of a roe,
Draw the bayonets, men, and fol-
low roared the sergeant, Donald
!! Bane
Ground cartridge box and musket, like
stag hounds up you go,
Well catch that outlaw devil. if We
have to run to Spain!"
U, then there was futter of the kilties
as they flew
Like beages through the heather
for the hunted rebel game,
And Captain Michael Dryer heard the
Scotties view halloo!"
AS he halted on the summit with a
bleeding thigh and lame.
He looked across the water, and a pleas
ant sight he saw:
The muskets of the Scotties and
their powder boxes laid
Upon the bank. He darted like an ar
row down the shaw,
And plunged into the cleaning and
the rugged mountain glade.
A header from the rugged cliff and to
the deep he sank,
The splash he made re-echoed with
the shout of Donald Bane-
Go, scatter back and stop him on the
edge of yonder bank;
Well take the kelpine devil if we
have to run to Spain
The giant strokes of Dryer brought
him swift unto the shore,
And darting through the pebbles to
each cartridge box and gun,
He seized upon them quickly with gay,
deriding roar,
And whrling them beyond him, into
the deep they spun.
He tossed the powder boxes one by ono
into the Tough,
And musket after musket, with a
laugh and wild "hooray!"
Before you capture Dryer just go home
and take a slough,
Then come and try your fortune in
the hunt another day."
Then shonde"ing the rluslles Of the
sergeant like whiff
or smoke into the Drambles the
outlaw took his way,
TO seek the lonely valley by to- Luna
quilla cliff
And went into his keeping to fight
another day.
