Prudent was Patrick during life;
Pleasing was in banishing evil propensities;
This is what extended his fame
Up to each tribe of people.
XIII.
He hymns, and revelations,
And the three fifties daily sung:
He preached, baptized, and prayed,
From praising God he never ceased.
XIV.
He felt not the cold of the season;
He stayed the night in the waters,
With heaven to be blessed as his kingdom,
He preached through the day on the hills.
XV.
In saving the people of Benibarka
He experienced neither drought nor hunger;
He sang an hundred psalms each night,
The King of angels to serve.
XVI.
He then rested on a bare stone,
And a wet coverlid over him,
A rock was his pillow,
He left not his body in indolence.
