An alternative title is "Carolan's Cup" (but probably not by Carolan), #185 in D. O'Sullivan's 'Carolan'. O'Sullivan says there are 'appropriate Irish words' to the tune in O'Daly's 'Poets and Poetry of Munster', (1st series) p. 70, 1849. He also notes a poem, "Oh! proud were the cheiftans of green Innisfail", by Thomas Davis, is set to the tune in 'The Spirit of the Nation', p. 236, 1846.
