S. PATRIC.

Be still: the skies

Are choked with thunder, lightning, and fierce wind,

For God has heard, and speaks His angry mind;

Go cast your body on the stones and pray,

For He has wrought midnight and dawn and day.

OISIN.

Saint, do you weep? I hear amid the thunder

The Fenian horses; armour torn asunder;

Laughter and cries: the armies clash and shock;
