There lies Il stone above your ready reach,

And hence, of one who talks in such tone,

With secrets wTrsted from an Emperor,
And hear him 'auut his bravery, and tell
How once he suubhed u marquis, infer
The came back, If yet the truth were known,
by way Of Cork, and kissed the Blarney Stone
So, when hear a shallow dandy boast
(In the long ear that marks brother dunce)
What precious favors ladies' lips have lost,
10 his advantage, suspect at once
The fellows lying, that the dog alone
Enough for himl has kissed the Barney Stone!
When some fine lady-ready to defame
An absent beauty, with as sweet grace
With seeming rapture greets hated name,
And lauds her rival to her wondering face,
Fen Charity herself must freely own S-
Some women n, too, have kissed the Barney Stone
When sleek attorneys. whose seductive tongues,
Smooth with the JUNCTION Of golden fee,
Breathe forth huge ialsehoOds from capacious
lungs
The words are Juvenals,) tits plain to see
A lawyers genius isn't all his own
The specious rogue has kissed the Blarney Stone
When the false pastor, from his faiHting fosk
Rithlsalds the bread of Life-the Gospel news
To givGsshem dainty words, lest he should shock
The fragile fabric Of the paying pews,
Who but must feel the man to grace unknown
Has kissed mot Calvary but the Barney Stone
