MUSIC OF ST. PATRICK'S.




All the choir
Sang Hallelujah, as the sound of seas.
Milton.


Again, oh! send that anthem peal again
Thro' the arch'd roof in triumph to the sky!
Bid the old tombs ring proudly to the strain,
The banners thrill as if with victory!

Such sounds the warrior awe-struck might have heard,
While arm'd for fields of chivalrous renown;
Such the high hearts of Kings might well have stirr'd,
While throbbing still beneath the recent crown,
