IRISH SONGS AND LYRICS 273
Wise were they in the days of old,
Who gave the Stranger place; And when the joyous catch was trolled, And toasts were quaffed and tales were told,
They looked him in the face.
God save us from the skeleton
Who sittest at the feast! God rest the manly spirit gone, Who sat beside the Silent One,
And dreaded him the least!
