“Och, Dublin City, there is no doubtin,
Bates every city upon the say;
Tis there youll see OConnell spoutin,
An Lady Morgan makin tay;
For tis the capital of the finest nation,
Wid charmin pisintry on a fruitful sod,
Fightin like divils for conciliation
An hatin each other for the love of God.”

“The boy stood on the burning deck,
Whence all but he had fled;
The flame that lit the battles wreck,
Shone round him oer the dead.
Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
As born to rule the storm;
A creature of heroic blood,
A proud though childlike form.”
—Felicia Dorothea Hemans (17831835)
