ODE FOR ST. PATRIC'S DAY.
Humbly inscrib'd to the President and members of the Irish
Society, by their most humble servant, [signed] Joseph
Dumbleton.
. . . [1 line in Latin, signed] Virg.
The Muse an Ode select prepares,
With splendid bowls the board is crown'd,
Thine harp awakes in solemn airs
O Saint! while thy great name goes round;
As victims on thy festal day
Our choicest firstlings we resign,
And for a glad libation, pay
Our finest wheat, and purest wine.
. . . [7 more verses]
