And thus, we see, on either hand,

We name our blessings whence they’ve sprung;

We call our country Father-land;

We call our language Mother-tongue.

FATHER MOLLOY
OR, THE CONFESSION

PADDY McCABE was dying one day,

And Father Molloy he came to confess him;

Paddy pray’d hard he would make no delay,

But forgive him his sins and make haste for to bless him.
