Origin Of Ireland, The Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF DGEG CHCH IJKJ KLEL DMDN| With due condescension I'd call your attention | A |
| To what I shall mention of Erin so green | B |
| And without hesitation I will show how that nation | A |
| Became of creation the gem and the queen | B |
| - | |
| 'Twas early one morning without any warning | C |
| That Vanus was born in the beautiful say | D |
| And by the same token and sure 'twas provoking | C |
| Her pinions were soaking and wouldn't give play | D |
| - | |
| Old Neptune who knew her began to pursue her | E |
| In order to woo her the wicked old Jew | F |
| And almost had caught her atop of the water | E |
| Great Jupiter's daughter which never would do | F |
| - | |
| But Jove the great janius looked down and saw Vanus | D |
| And Neptune so heinous pursuing her wild | G |
| And he spoke out in thunder he'd rend him asunder | E |
| And sure 'twas no wonder for tazing his child | G |
| - | |
| A star that was flying hard by him espying | C |
| He caught with small trying and down let it snap | H |
| It fell quick as winking on Neptune a sinking | C |
| And gave him I'm thinking a bit of a rap | H |
| - | |
| That star it was dry land both low land and high land | I |
| And formed a sweet island the land of my birth | J |
| Thus plain is the story that sent down from glory | K |
| Old Erin asthore as the gem of the earth | J |
| - | |
| Upon Erin nately jumped Vanus so stately | K |
| But fainted kase lately so hard she was pressed | L |
| Which much did bewilder but ere it had killed her | E |
| Her father distilled her a drop of the best | L |
| - | |
| That sup was victorious it made her feel glorious | D |
| A little uproarious I fear it might prove | M |
| So how can you blame us that Ireland's so famous | D |
| For drinking and beauty for fighting and love | N |
