   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
   II

   I wish them back once more
