This song of praise to our school we raise, Our well loved G.H.S Nor time nor place, can e'er efface Her work of usefulness. For all she's done, our gratitude she's won And our love will ne'er grow less, So we give three cheers, three hearty cheers, To dear old G.H.S CHORUS Then shout with might and main. Her praises once again. With honest heart, she's played her part, And constant she'll remain With frame her work is crowned: Her efforts are renowned, Loudly profess the G.H.S, so let her halls resound, Oh, Lord we pray, from day to day, This school to guide and bless.

Liscarroll Castle is a 13th-century Hiberno-Norman fortress in County Cork, Ireland. In July 1642, at the start of the Irish Confederate Wars, the castle was seized by Irish Confederate forces commanded by Garret Barry. After the subsequent Battle of Liscarroll, the castle was recaptured by British forces commanded by Murrough O'Brien, 1st Earl of Inchiquin. The castle is the subject of an 1854 poem by Callaghan Hartstonge Gayner which concludes: > Beneath its folds assemble now, and fight with might and main, > That grand old fight to make our land "A nation once again", > And falter not till alien rule in dark oblivion falls, > We’ll stand as freemen yet, beneath those old Liscarroll walls.

But since the throng overpowered her, she unwillingly released her husband, and he by no will of his own came to the Forum of Constantine, where they summoned him to the throne; then since they had neither diadem nor anything else with which it is customary for a king to be clothed, they placed a golden necklace upon his head and proclaimed him Emperor of the Romans." The Riots resulted in the executions of both Hypatius and Pompeius. "Then indeed from both sides the partisans of Hypatius were assailed with might and main and destroyed. When the rout had become complete and there had already been great slaughter of the populace, Boraedes and Justus, nephews of the Emperor Justinian, without anyone daring to lift a hand against them, dragged Hypatius down from the throne, and, leading him in, handed him over together with Pompeius to the emperor.
