  1. by Kieran Mc Bride
    I
    You mimsen swanes who are contained in Eirn's lovely Shamrock isle. Attend I pray without delay and join in concert for a while. In homely lays to sing the praise of that dear place called sweet Galmoy.
    II
    This parish round is always found in local mirth and jolity, and the poeples minds are all inclined to friendship and fidelity. No cunning thieves or artful knaves unguarded minds, for to destroy but all I'm sure are just and pure. The real old stock of sweet Galmoy.
    Poet,
    Pharmaceutal chemist,
    And Philosopher,
    You winsome swains
