In England he seemed, a stranger to be. 45 THE BLACKBIRD Yet his name shall remain In France and in Spain, All bliss to mjr Blackbird wherever he be. "It is not the ocean can fright me with danger, For though like a pilgrim I wander forlorn, I may still meet with friendship from one that's a stranger, Much more than from one that in England was born. Oh, Heaven so spacious To Britain be gracious, Though some there be odious to him and to me. Yet joy and renown. And laurel shall crown My Blackbi...rd with honour wherever he be." 46 THE SHAN VAN VOCHT Oh ! the French are on the say, Says the Shan Van Vocht ; The French are on the say, Says the Shan Van Vocht ; Oh ! the French are in the Bay, They'll be here without delay. And the Orange will decay. Says the Shan Van Vocht. Oh ! the French are in the Bay, They'll be here by break of day And the Orange will decay Says the Shan Van Vocht. And where will they have their camp ? Says the Shan Van Vocht ; Where will they have their camp ? Says the Shan Van Vocht ; On the Curragh of Kildare, The boys they will be there, With their pikes in good repair, Says the Shan Van Vocht.
