- (continued from previous page)And so they wait, with tempting bait,
Till he came his weary rounds
And nice and cool in the 'Millrace Poll'.
They dipped this English swell.
Oh! its true about the roasted trout
That lives in Patrick's Well.V
Another dip to the(y) very lip,
He came to the "Floodgates" near
When wet and sad he flew like mad,
And the people laughing 'cheer'.
'Hurray' we call for the people all
Who gave the fool this sell
And another shout for the roasted trout
That lives in Patrick's Well.The above was also written by Mr. Patrick Hynes. - "Dear Exiles all, that hail from Boyle,
I bid you gather near
And let us to-night with fond delight,
Recall old places dear.
Though driven from my native town
On foreign land to toil,
Both night and day for you I'll pray,
My native town of Boyle

God be with my school boy days
I wish them back once more(continues on next page)- Collector
