Good Saint Pat in days of yore<\/p>\n
Stood stalwart on the Irish shore<\/p>\n
And drove all snakes from Eire’s green sod<\/p>\n
And did so by the power of God!<\/p>\n
How wonderful and grand ‘twould be<\/p>\n
If God would raise a saint from we<\/p>\n
Who from the Church and state would drive<\/p>\n
All snake and vermin now alive<\/p>\n
Into the sea- I’d voice a hymn<\/p>\n
If I could see one bishop swim!<\/p>\n
