We are a band of nations and native to the region

Fighting for our liberty, with treasure, blood and toil

And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far

Hurrah for the Bonnie Green Flag that bears a single Eagle!

Hurrah!  Hurrah!

For Nation's rights, hurrah!

Put your phone/tablet on selfie mode and have your back to the eclipse. The rays of the sun can't be replicated by these screens. It may appear smaller and less detailed then otherwise watching it, but you'll a) get to see it, and b) not set your retinas on fire.
