- You heavenly muses I pray excuse
An humble bard's intrusion here,
Inspire my brain ye nymphs of fame
A people brave for to revere
Glangevlin's vale my heart's appeal
Is to record your dignity,
Extend they fame, extol thy name
And see thy noble children free.
II
Your sons so rare none can compare
For valour faith or chivalry,
Your daughters pure I can assure
For virtue love or modesty
Go search our Island o'er and o'er
And all around Britania rare
You'll find no sport where saints can rest
Like sweet Glangevlin's valley fair.
III
The towering heights of the Cuilcagh mountains
And Sliabh n Killa's rugged hills
All look in solemn grandeur down
And leave that vale more lovely still
From Limerick trace the Shamon's course
That noble stream majestic rare,
You'll find its birth and rising source
In Sweet Glangevlin's Valley fair.(continues on next page)
