Graifítí an Lae

Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you
Ye are many - they are few!

Mar Leoin i ndiaidh a scíthe
Éirígí, dochloíte -
Na slabhraí croithigí díbh mar dhrúcht
(Thiteadar oraibh is sibh fá shuan)
Is tearc a líon san - sibhse an slua!

Percy Shelley
The Masque of Anarchy
