    Bi Phelim 0'Sniggbe, M.D. AiR— St. Patrick was a glntleinan. A HOST most rare Was Douglas dear, And both sedate and stable, He kept a Hotel, You know it well, And in one room a table. It's a big affair St. Andrew Square, So is Moray Place, in troth, too; But ril tell you a gap That's a daeper trap, And wider than them both, too. Och 'twas into that place [It's the hole in my face] That I put the champagne, swate cratur', And, thanks to Brown, Ye all must own, There's nothin' was chaper or swater. Chorus—Then success to Mister Douglas's Jist, He niver let us faint, 0; He gave the champagne corks the twist, He 's a beauti/ without paint, 0.
