OF THE

"IRISH REBELLION"

OF 1798.

BY

CHARLES HAMILTON TEELING.

"REBELLION! foul dishonouring word,
Whose wrongful blight so oft has stained
The holiest cause that tongue or sword
Of mortal ever lost or gained-

How many a spirit born to bless,

Has sunk beneath that withering name,
Whom but a day's an hour's success,

Had wafted to eternal fame."
