Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBBBCDECFF D| Pride of Ierne's Sea encircled bound | A |
| Rival of all Britannia's Naiads boast | B |
| Magnificent Killarney from thy coast | B |
| Tho' mountains rise with noblest woods embrown'd | B |
| Tho' ten voiced Echos send the cannon's sound | B |
| In thunders bursting the vast rocks around | B |
| Till startled Wonder and Delight exhaust | B |
| In countless repercussion Isles embost | B |
| Upon thy liquid glass their bloomy veil | C |
| Sorbus and a rbutus yet not for thee | D |
| So keenly wakes our local ecstacy | E |
| As o'er the narrow barren silent Dale | C |
| Where deeply sleeps rude circling Rocks among | F |
| The Love devoted Fount enamour'd PETRARCH sung | F |
