    “Curiosity led a young native of Erin to view the gay banks of the Rhine.”

    Curiosity led a young native of Erin
    To view the gay banks of the Rhine
    An empress he saw and the robe she was wearing
    All over with diamonds did shine
    No Goddess so splendid was ever yet seen
    To equal that fair maid so mild and serene
    In soft murmurs she cried, my linnet so green
    You are gone shall I e'er see you more
    The cold frosty Alps you freely passed over
    Which nature had placed in your way
    At ... all round you did hover
    All Paris rejoiced the next day.
    It grieves me the hardships you did undergo
    The mountains you traversed, all covered with snow.
