Romantic Ireland; volume 2/2

by M. F. Mansfield; Blanche McManus

In the year 685 Aldfred, son of Ossory, became King of Northumberland. He was educated at Armagh, then a world-famed school of learning, and had written some verses in the Irish tongue descriptive of his impressions of Ireland.

Translated into English his descriptions might apply to-day.

“I travelled its fruitful provinces round,
And in every one of the five I found,
Alike in church and in palace hall,
Abundant apparel, and food for all.”

This sounds to-day somewhat like triviality. Perhaps, however, it has lost some of its virtues by translation. Another stanza reads somewhat more melodiously:

“I found in Meath’s fair principality
Virtue, vigour, and hospitality;
Candour, joyfulness, bravery, purity,
Ireland’s bulwark and security.”

THE END.
