- (continued from previous page)From foreign waters they would withdraw
In those recesses they’ll find caresses
Where true fertility displays its power
For generation and population
On the shady banks of the fame Delour.6th
When Bacus traversed this Irish nation
Geletorious waters for gods to find
Twas in Northgrove he met the queen of love
Where he stopped a while to recreate his mind
At his departure he said here after
If any liquor should turn sour
If right applied might be dulcified
By the wholesome waters of the fame Delour.7th
Its not my intention for to accuse
The accurate bard to whom verse does flow
Or the youth that poured on the river Nore
Or the candid daughter of the fame Barrow
I do when laud and there verse applaud
While orato does me inpower
My present toast and perpetuall boast
Is the shady banks of the fame Delour.
