Synopsis

Excerpt from Bricriu's Feast: A Comedy in Three Acts, With an Epilogue

For a feast or a fight or a girl or a game. He's beneath my contempt, And from mercy exempt But I don't think I'd put him to death all the same.

He thinks that a grin Will atone for his sin And an off-hand apology cover his shame. But although I detest All his tricks, like the pest I don't think I'd put him to death all the same.

This waster of time, I'd rack him with rime, With metre his memory mangle and maim. His tomb I'd defile With an epitaph Vile, But I don't think I'd put him to death all the same.
