  1. (I)
    Hibernia's tourists of every station
    To foreign nations who idly roam
    For your improvement and recreation,
    You have inducement to stay at home.
    If you would visit these distant places,
    Expense and dangers you'd undergo,
    For all that's beauteous by art or nature
    Are in the valley of Aherlow.

    (II)
    A splendid court was erected lately,
    In this fine vale I've named before,
    By a bright gentleman of high attainments,
    Whose sires were famous in days of yore,
    They in the Senate-house were brilliant statesmen
    Sublime and saged at Council-board.
