“There are many song's and poems.”
There are many songs and poems. Here is a poem which was written a very long time ago:-
Pat fell sick, and he sent for the priest,
That dying he might have his blessing at least.
To come with all speed he humbly implored him,
And fit him out tight for the journey before him.
The good Father the summon quickly obeyed,
And found Pat, alas, in a terrible way
Fixed and wild were his looks
And his nose cold and blue
And his countenance had a churchyard-like hue
The good Father bid Pat confess all his crimes.(continues on next page)
