The peak of achievement in this line is, of course "An Ode In Praise of the City of Mullingar"

Ye nine, inspire me, and with rapture fire me
To sing the buildings, both old and new,
The majestic court-house, and the spacious workhouse,
And the church and steeple which adorn the view.
There's barracks airy for the military,
Where the brave repose from the toils of war;
Five schools, a nunnery, and a thriving tannery
In the gorgeous city of Mullingar.

etc.....................

Wonderful!
