    Hadn't read this masterpiece in a long time, if you're from Limerick you should have heard/read this tale!

    WARNING! Will take a while to read, so put the time aside!

    Interesting. I havew a different edition in front of me:

    The Bard of Thomond's
    IMMORTAL
    DRUNKEN THADY
    and
    The Bishop's Lady
    A seasonable publication with a place in
    every Limerick man's home - a joyful
    nostalgic gift for a relative or
    friend overseas

    PRICE, only ................ 1/-

    City Printing Co. Limerick



    It has no year on it but by the looks of it I'd say late 20s or 30s...

    Not completely rhymed and starting with "He believed in God, right firm and well, / But served no Heaven and feared no Hell" and some "interludes" in prose.

    That line is a good bit in in this version AFAIK. My father had a framed poster version up at home, must check how that read.
    YIP, that line is top of page 3 on my posted version above.
