  1. This morning on Pharnasis the gods and Godesses did meet, Occasioned by a summons that Jupiter did circulate, he said "With speed you must proceed to M. Sleive Bloom
    There just pass the day"
    It specified that Conway's boys should merit a victories sway
    II:
    Beautiful Aura dispersed the gloomy shades of night
    And uttered forth most charming our beauteous boys to excite
    To meet the famed Dorainges precisely on the appointed green
    Until from twenty one we'll loose nineteen.
    III;
    Next morning did appear mild as in the charming month of may.
    Where the villages were cheered by the warbling of the songster on its spray.
    Mars met the godess sweetly and told her she had just prepared
    One hundred gods enamoured their embroidered train to bear.
    IV;
    That they from Cappanarrow to Roundwood Court should go in state.
    And from that unto the Harrow to see our boys accumulate
    But first they tell young Conway-zealous for hid country-hood
    That all the heavy honour of the day should come to Upperwoods.
    V;
    Brave boys be now courageous and let the famed Dorainges
    See that the theme of future ages should be our invincibility
    Inclined to aid each other, stand as marble to the sun
    Be active and unanimous and no impending danger shun.
