JOHN HORE SANG.
Translated by Michael Kavanagh.
The original appeared in former No. of the Gael.
In praise of Charle MacDonnell of Kilkee
A banquet prepare for Dromoland's young heir,
Sir Edward, and "Burton of laces”,
The Hickham's I think — if they're given to drink,
Will find themselves in their right places.
MacDonnel will meet them and cordially greet them
The while the great sport they're awaiting —
The chase of the deer that has ruined our bore,
And our gardens' choice produce been eating.
On sender limbed steed, see the graceful chief lead
Who came to us over the water,
Over hillside and brake till the hounds they oertake
Before the great stag they could slaughter,
The rest of them were seven miles in his rear,
Astray in the moors and wild highlands,
A wager I'll hold, this hunter so bolb
Can never be matched in both islands.
My friend before all men of Munster's most tall men
MacDonnell that hero attractive,
His bountiful hand scatters gold through the land,
He's beautiful, polished' and active,
At court in his chair, with well-powered hair,
The foreign curs whine as if undone,
While Munster men pray, as the bow to his sway
"God send him safe over from London!"
Rise Fidlim's descendants, and George's dependents
With Joseph set bonfires ablazing,
And soon ye shall dine, and of good Spanish wine
And beer swig a quarturn amazing;
There seated in state, our fun shall be great,
We'll drink to MacDonnell the glorious
Young chief of Kilkee by the smooth stranded sea,
With bumpers and cheering uproarious.
