LABGEST CITY 'CIKCiXATioif.
FRIDAY MORNING June 1. 1866
The Blarney Stone.
In BUrnev Castle, </i a crumbling tower,
There lies a stone (above your ready
reaob) . , . ....
Which to tho lips imparts, tis said, tho
power
Os faoile falsehood, and persuasive spoech:
And hence, of one who talks in such a tone,
The peasants say, “He’s kissed the Blarney
Stone.”
Thus, when I see some flippant tourist swell
With secrets wrested from an Emperor—
And hear him vaunt his bravery and tell
How once be snubbed a Marquis—l infer
The man came baek, if but the truth were
known —
By way of Cork, and kissod the Blarney
Stone 1
So, when I hear a shallow dandy boast
(In the long car that marks a brother
dunce),
What precious favors ladies’ lips have lost,
To his advantage; I suspect, at once,
The fellow's lying; that tho dog alone
(Knough for him 1) has kissed the Blarney
Stone!
When some fine lady—ready to defame
An absent beanty, with as sweeta grace —
With scorning rapture greets a hated name,
And lauds her rival to her wondering face;
K’en Charity herself must own
Some women, too, have kissed the Blarney
Stone !
When sleek attorneys, whoso seductive
tongues,
Smooth with the unction of a golden fee,
“Breathe forth huge falsehoods from capa
cious lungs,”*
(The words are Juvenal’s), ’tis plain to soo
A lawyer’s genius isn’t all his own ;
Tho specious rogue has kissed the Blarney
Stone!
When the false pastor, from his fainting
flock
Witholds tho Bread of Lifo—tho Gospel
news,
To give them dainty words, lest he should
shock
The fragile fabric of the paying pews—
Who but must feel, the man to grace un
known,
Has kissed —not Calvary—but tho Blarney
Stone 1
