4.9/5 (16282 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Poems Many of the poems in this little volume are, no doubt, ephemeral and out of date - who, for instance, now thinks of the sufferings of Armenian Christians, or the doings of the famous Baltic fleet? Still the writer has been asked by friends to include these subjects with those of more general interest. Altho' a man of peace, the military element appeals to him, as it does to many Irishmen, and he would like to record the doings of the "Connaught Rangers," "Inniskillings," "Dublin Fusiliers," and other well-known Irish Corps. He styles himself a "West Briton." Now, what is the exact definition and up-to-date meaning of that term? The holder of the title may be descended from O'Connors and O'Donelans and ancient Irish Kings. He may have the greatest love for his native land, desirous to learn the Irish language, and under certain conditions to join the Gaelic League. He may be all this, and rejoice in the victory of an Irish horse in the "Grand National," or an Irish dog at "Waterloo," or an Irish tug-of-war team of R.I.C. giants at Glasgow or Liverpool, but, if he does not at the same time hate the mere Saxon, and revel in the oft resuscitated pictures of long past periods, and the horrors of the penal laws - he is a mere "West Briton," his Irish blood, his Irish sympathies go for nothing.
