From tongue to tongue the rumor flew	A
All askt aghast Is't true is't true	A
But none knew whether 'twas fact or fable	B
And still the unholy rumor ran	C
From Tory woman to Tory man	C
Tho' none to come at the truth was able	B
Till lo at last the fact came out	D
The horrible fact beyond all doubt	D
That Dan had dined at the Viceroy's table	B
Had flesht his Popish knife and fork	E
In the heart of the Establisht mutton and pork	E
	-
Who can forget the deep sensation	F
That news produced in this orthodox nation	F
Deans rectors curates all agreed	G
If Dan was allowed at the Castle to feed	G
'Twas clearly all up with the Protestant creed	G
There hadn't indeed such an apparition	F
Been heard of in Dublin since that day	H
When during the first grand exhibition	F
Of Don Giovanni that naughty play	H
There appeared as if raised by necromancers	I
An extra devil among the dancers	I
Yes every one saw with fearful thrill	J
That a devil too much had joined the quadrille	J
And sulphur was smelt and the lamps let fall	J
A grim green light o'er the ghastly ball	J
And the poor sham devils didn't like it at all	J
For they knew from whence the intruder had come	K
Tho' he left that night his tail at home	L
	-
This fact we see is a parallel case	I
To the dinner that some weeks since took place	I
With the difference slight of fiend and man	C
It shows what a nest of Popish sinners	I
That city must be where the devil and Dan	C
May thus drop in at quadrilles and dinners	I
	-
But mark the end of these foul proceedings	I
These demon hops and Popish feedings	I
Some comfort 'twill be to those at least	M
Who've studied this awful dinner question	F
To know that Dan on the night of that feast	M
Was seized with a dreadful indigestion	F
That envoys were sent post haste to his priest	M
To come and absolve the suffering sinner	N
For eating so much at a heretic dinner	N
And some good people were even afraid	O
That Peel's old confectioner still at the trade	O
Had poisoned the Papist with orangeade	O
