All ye celestial muses come join me I pray,
In those few lines I'm now going to mention,
It's of a fine prospect that I saw of late,
And to praise it, it is my intention.
That beautiful landscape has dazzled my eyes,
Its beautiful falls put me in great surprise,
And the trees all around it saluting the skies,
For to beautify those grand buildings.

I stood all amazed on its beauty I gazed,
And viewed it with great admiration
No monarch can boast of so stylish a place,
In any European nation,
St. Patricks mountain along does preside,
The ships from the ocean sail in with the tide,
and Neptune upon the proud waves he does ride,
With joy at seeing Cloona Grad Bldgs.
III
A beautiful cottage that does it subjoin,
I'm sure adds great fame to its splendour,
All footsteps that pass they give it great praise,
For hospitality and grandeur,
King Solomon's temple I do tell you true,
When on Mt. Moriah had no such grand view,
To give it a title Its right for to do,
I style it the lodge of Mt. Moriah(continues on next page)- Collector
