1. The Pattern of Emly

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   At Emly's pattern you might see
   Old men their long beads [?]
   And young ones moved with piety
   Flock from their humble dwelling,
   And some were there the truth to tell,
   Who did not know their prayers so well
   But merely out for pleasure ;
   Who sauntered through the streets all day,
   Past tents where pipers used to play ;
   Where crowds were feeling very gay,
   And drinking at their leisure.
   Until they might their brains replace
   With alcoholic germs ;
   And for "a scrap" each other face ;
   Excuse those Yankee terms.
   For when their heads were growing dizzy,
   'Twas then their sticks were getting busy ;
   But athletes sway the crowd -
   Jumps they'll contest, both broad and high,
   The hurdle race they'll view close by ;
   But first the heavy weights they'll buy.(?)
   For here are champions proud.
