    'Tis without peril in Lisnagirl.
    The youthful pupils are trained with care,
    True illustration and sound education
    He has established in Killinkere.

    To set forth his praises in simple phrases,
    My brain is crazy to do all I can,
    But as I study my mind grows muddy,
    'Tis the duty of some better man.

    'Tis fair to state Bob Hynes the Great,
    He did complete this structure grand,
    His noble art he did impart,
    Upon a school on Farnham's land.

    As to decry this marvel fair,
    And they stand confounded, as they view around it,
    To see it founded in Killinkere
