Here's a sample of the 12 verses of "In Praise os Kingstwon Harbour", as given in Sparlings "Irish Minstrelsy" :

The Praises of Kingstown Harbour

Ye bucks and rakes from foreign nations
That roll throuigh cities and seaport towns
It is concerning a spacious harbour
Whose worthy praises I mean to sound.
With sweet arrangements, well situated
On a rising view to the lovely quay
Where you may observe all the mariners rolling
And topsails shivering in the happy bay

The purling rills and the sloping hills
Where the bucks trip over from the dreaded hounds
Their cries are sounding, all the vale's resounding
While the hare runs startled in her merry rounds
The silent anglers are gently sporting
And whalebone bending with free goodwill
While the carp and bream they are trepanning
From sweet Dunleary round to Dalkey Hill

......
I roved from Mallow to sweet Killarney
Through Shelton Abbey by the Ovoca side
Through dazzling Courtown and Ballyarthur
And Cololnel Talbot's of Malahide
To the grand O'Neill's in the Country Antrim
To Poolafooca and great Burton Hall
And in all my ranging throughout this nation
Sweet noble Kingstown exceeds them all
