Who frowning a smile,

Cries, Get you gone Pat,

Yet consents all the while;

To Church they soon go,

And nine months after that,

And nine months after that,

A young baby cries,

How do you father Pat,

With your Sprig, &c.

Success to the land that gave Patrick his birth,

To the land of the oak,

And its neighbouring earth,

With a Sprig, &c.

May the sons of the Thames,

Tweed, and the Shannon,

Thresh the foes, that would plant

On our confines a ;

and happy in Liberty's shrine,

May the and the Thistle

Long and twine,

While Pat holds his Shelela

And Shamrock so Green.
