On Friars

Would'st thou on good terms with friars live,

Ever be humble and admiring;

All they ask of thee freely give,

And in return be nought requiring.

On a surly Butler,

who had refused him admission to the cellar

O Dermod Flynn it grieveth me

Thou keepest not Hell's portal;

As long as thou should'st porter be,

Thou would'st admit no mortal.
