YE Sons of st. Patrick, draw jovially near:
To the of Bacchus resort
On this solemn feaft—to Irishmen dear—*
Tomiirth consec rated, and sport.
th
Far hence be all ftrife, contention and noise;
Let harmony ’mongft us-prevail:
Tufti the bottle about—of wioe taste the joys—
True Milefians in toping ne’er fail.
nr.
Sever’d be St. Patrick, who in our bleft isle
Spread the Ipftre of science around :
On his natal day our cares let’s beguile,
While our temples with shamrocks are
bound,
' * +», *.
IV.
Hospitality’s praise—a virtue too rare—
Was never to Ireland deny’d :
E’en Twifs—the vile reptile—was forc’d to
declare,
That just was the national pride.
• ■
V.
Regard ev’ry rank, from the high-titled peer
To the cotter, though abjeft and low;
Each man to his friend gives a welcome sin
cere,
r
And freely good cheer doth bestow.
VI.
In warlike atchievements few nations can gain
So uufully’d and signal a fame:
Search the records of France, of Germany,
Spain, 1
You’ll find how well founded their claim..
VII.
Cremona’s defence, and Fontenoy’s field,
In deathless memorials display
The national valour—to friends .1 strong (hield
To oppofers, confufion— difrnay.

vnr.
From northern Quebec, where Montgom’ry
fell,
To Georgia’s most fouthcrly feene,
Each state has beheld —each commander can
tell, .
How brave have our countrymen been.
IX,
To such fa v’ritcs of Mars, pray who could
expeft
Venus gives not of bTeflings a (bare ?
Ho Irishman ever will tail to protect,
To comfort, and cherilh the fair.

A glass, jolly /ouls : a bumper pray fill,
For a toast that philanthropy prizes:
** Health, happiness, honor, attend the man

“ Who reflections on nations despises."
