Summary

Bailie Nicol Jarvie's journey to Aberfoil… (1829)

The Wicklow hills are very high, and so's the hill o' Howth, Sir;
But there's a hill that's higher still, yes higher then them both, Sir:—
'Twas on the top of this high hill St. Patrick preached the sarment
That drove the frogs into the bogs, and boddered all the varment.
Then success, &c.
No wonder that we Irish boys should be so gay and frisky,
St. Patrick first taught us the joys of tippling the whisky.
