NEW ODE TO ST PATRICK,

WV OOI ~ IL NJ " IN
AN AUTHENTIC ACCOUNT OF THE BANIsHMENT
ToADs AND ENAKEs FROM IRELAND; TOGnt
WITH THE SAINTS INTENTIONS RESPECTING IN
AND THE MAGICAL CREATION OF 1nE SHAMRO
DEClPHERED AND TRANSLATED PROM RECEN
DISCOVERED ANCIENT MILEsIAS RECORDS.
When Cesar, by conquesls unsated,
Gu Erin's soft slopes set his eve,
His troops he debarIed, and, elated,
Strulled to wake, as spy.
That brlwny barbarian, the Briton,
In Britain he'd beaten anew,
Then furnished fresh fetters TO fit on
The Freemen Of Brian Boru.
He'd heard of our civilization.
Our munimeuts modelled in mud;
Our archiyes-with Notes on Creation
The Special Report of The Flood
By one whu declared an embargo
Was placed on the Ark aud her crew,
And til At he, not half liking her cargo,
Sculled home in IA Celtic canoe.
From Bitain he came empty handed
No wonder, for History tells
That the mobiles, wherever he landed,
Wera rObed in red-ochre and shells
While those who fought brlvely beside them,
The serfs that they held in their thrill,
Parading in nothing ut all!'
He little knew then we were Romans,
Established ere Rome h ID been built,
So looked on our Island rs no mans,
Not caring how nauy he kilt
But first, and before lac gave battle,
He'd heard Of the wake as I've towld,
So, cutting himself an oak waffle.
Sneaked out in Il e hOighth Of the cowld.
Disguised in pair of cord brtches,'
fri,ze coat, sturdy brogues, and eaubeen,
He scrambled through hedges and bitches
To where the wake sights could be seen.
He set out quite fearless and hearty,
Arrived somewhat soon in the night,
And skrewdged himself iu ere the party
Was quite drunk enough for fight.
Ee, laughed, the big thief, aud grew fiisky,
And drank with mighty good will
(He'd never ature tasted whisky,
Orevcn heerd tell OF still y.
King Brian Boru sat aud eyed him,
So also did huge fili-ma-Cool,
And Il third in cluak with, beside him,
A crosier proppcd up by "A stool.
They all seemed to relish the liquor
(No eXciseman near it had been)
The quicker they tipplcI, the quicker
They yuHtd ut the fragrant dudheen.
10 " eiesar 'le pipe was eX'ehued
But Cesar refused, and, offended,
Said, Cities must blaze when smoke
: oh citics?' says t'other. quite civil;
You IL want big pipe for that same
