4 Like his ancestors true with bonnet blue,
 * The ring he entered in.

Resolved by power and strenth of hand
 * His rights for to maintain.

On the second June, the afternoon,
 * The heroes met that day,

Resolved by power and body strength,
 * Their science to display:

In the first round Byrue was knocked down
 * Which made them for to cry,

The surrouding crowd huzza'd aloud,
 * "Success to bold M'Kay."

They met again, the feight went on.
 * Most pleasing for to see;

Byrne said unto M'Kay, "I fear you've gone astray." But M' Kay he said unto his man,
 * "Be not afraid of me;

For I'm resolved on this plain'
 * For death or victory."

Our manly chief, like a hero bold,
 * His man he did knock down,

And the skies did echo with the cheers,
 * Were given from the ring.
