Padraig Piarais (1879-1916)

Padraig Piarais is Patrick Pearse in English. He wrote the following words in The Rebel -
And I say to my people's masters: Beware, Beware of the thing that is coming, Beware of the risen people, Who shall take what ye would not give. Did ye think to conquer the people, Or that Law is stronger than life and than men's desire to be free?
