My kids learned it singing "Hotspur." Squire bring my armor, my sword and my destrier, I've raised an army to break Hanry's power. South from the Humber, we'll march to the Severn, With Douglas of Scotland, to join with Glendower.
What can I say, we're Irish. We get all our history (and our Shakespeare) from songs and poetry.
(I once had to sing the whole first verse of "Song of the Shield Wall" under my breath to remember the names of a couple kings in order to make the argument that calling Celts "Anglos" was offensive.) http://calontir.sca.org/artsci/ferds-songs.html Lyrics to both there
