And now the Irish are ashamed
To see themselves in one year tamed:
So much one man can do,
That does both act and know.


'An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland' (written 1650)


And now the Irish are ashamed To see themselves in one year tamed: So much one man can do, That does both act and know.

And now the Irish are ashamed To see themselves in one year tamed: So much one man can do, That does both act and know.

And now the Irish are ashamed To see themselves in one year tamed: So much one man can do, That does both act and know.

And now the Irish are ashamed To see themselves in one year tamed: So much one man can do, That does both act and know.
