Does anyone know the lyrics to "the swinish multitude", a song sung by Antrim rebels in 1798, in a definant response to edmund burke's statement that if the swinish multitude ever revolted civilization would be destroyed? believe that the lyrics are in "songs of the irish rebellion:political street ballads and rebel songs" by george-davis zimmerman, dublin 1967, and/or "the life and times of mary ann mccracken" by mary mcneil, dublin 1960, reprinted belfast 1988. the song was sung to the tune of "the lass or richmond hill."
