- I
You muses nine with no combine,
And grant your powerful aid,
And help my quill, while I fulfil
A promise I have made.
And lend to me sweet poetry
Lest critics keen may mock
Those simple lines which I compile
For Carrigs stately rock.
II
The subject of my verses is well worthy of esteem,
And with poetic beauty
Abundantly doth teem
Commands a view of sweet Tervoe
And Limerick's ship crowned dock
While the lordly Shannon sweeps below
The base of Carrig Rock.
III
From its lofty top no objects stop
Your view for miles around.
Where natures lavish beauties
Luxuriantly abound.
The meadows green below are seen
And the rich and roaming stock
Where the Maigue's deep led a silver thread
Flows on by carrig Rock.(continues on next page)
