Father O'Flynn as thẻ tướwir of them all.

Rathét Flynn,

Here's a health to you
Sláinte, and sláinte, and sluinte agin;
Powerfulest preacher, and
Tinderest teacher, and

Kindliest creature in ould Donegal.

Don't talk of your Provost and Fellows of Trinity,
Famous forever at Greek and Latinity,
Faix! and the divels and all at Divinity-

Father O'Flynn 'd make hares of them all!
Come, I vinture to give ye my word,
Niver the likes of his logic was heard,
Down from mythology
Into thayology,

Troth! and conchology if he'd the call.

All the young childer are wild for to play wid you,
You've such a way wid you, Father avick!

Gad, your flock in 'the grandest control,

Cherking the crazy ones

Coaxin' onaisy nés,
