1. Clinton's Dance

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   You sportsmen, I crave all your earnest attention,
   With patience to hear what I'm going to mention.
   I really intend a few volumes to fill,
   Concerning the dance that was held at the mill.
   For five or six months it continued in bloom,
   Until Donough Sunday from some time in June.
   The truth to disclose to describe and relate,
   The music was charming, transcendant and great.
   Its Clinton that played and I candidly tell,
   That in science of music he's unparalell.
   He plays to all style, both serene and commodious.
   Enchanting, hearty, sweet, sound melodious.
   He rouses each dunce from once he begins,
   With jigs, reels and hornpipes frolics and slings.
   He'd charm the heart and the spirit of man,
   He plays with such power such art and command.
   He cannot be exceeded, outdone or condemned.
   For in musical phrases he's famously skilled.
   He's the boy that can curl it both lofty and clear,
   For at a mile's distance his music you'd hear.
   So the dance that he held at the mill I declare
   It went beyond measure match count or compare.
   The music delighted the youngsters to dance,
   To leap, skip and swagger, hop, caper and prance.
   From every direction, they gathered in droves,
   In batches, in clutches, in dozens and scores.
