The Harp, the Lion, the Dragon and the Sword - Cruachan

The harp, the lion, the dragon and sword, a unity of death

Upon the banners present in the growing English threat

The Earl of Essex finished, Mountjoy would lead the way

He won the Queens favour her message he would convey

With his two lieutenants -Chichester and Carew

Mountjoy would change the course of war, an end was now in view

But not before an epic task — Rebellion in the south!

His forces were dispatched to stamp the bloody rebellion out!

MacCarthy and Carew reached an accord regarding Munster

A neutral stance was taken by the cowardly Gaelic leader

The forces of the crown could then focus on Fitzthomas

The main rebel leader fought with all his might and valour

The forces of Carew attacked Fitzthomas with such strength

They killed twelve hundred rebels bringing an end to their dissent

Fitzthomas, he was captured, to London he was bound

The rebellion in Munster now an empty battleground
