Davitt! a landlord bequeaths thee his blessing,
(’Tis all that you’ve left him in Erin-go-Bragh).
And (in my shirt-sleeves across the broad ocean)
I’ll pray for Parnell who put voters in motion,
And filled their thick heads with this new-fangled notion
That leaves them the masters of Erin-go-Bragh.
M. O’Brien.
From The Irish Fireside, February 6, 1886.
