You've heard, I suppose, long ago, </br> How the snakes, in a manner most antic, </br> He march'd to the County Mayo, </br> And trundled them into th' Atlantic. </br> Hence not to use water for drink </br> The people of Ireland determine; </br> With mighty good reason, I think, </br> Since St Patrick has fill'd it with vermin, </br> And vipers, and other such stuff.
