Stephen Dunford: The Journey of The IrIsh
‘I found besides from Ara to Glea
In the broad rich country of Ossory,
Sweet fruits, good laws, for all and each, Great chess-players, men of truthf’ul speech.
“I found in Meath’s fair principality, Virtue, vigour, and hospitality; Candour, joy fulness, bravery, purity- Ireland’s bulwark and security.
“I found strict morals in age and youth, I found historians recording truth.
The things I sing of in verse unsmooth I found them all -I have written sooth.”
