ríonmháthair [queen mother]
Which mother of Eire are you this evening
As you talk in turns as other women
Raise your stake, take medusas throne
As the hordes redeem you and the charge of them makes way
Who is this Melpomene, ever up in arms
Some tragic beauty, the banríon drámaíochta
A decadent poetess and muse to all who observe from the bowl
These divine possessions, but this is your favourite
They too have their favourites on this sacred ward
The more you go there, into the realm of these spirits of the night
These undead, who figure you, they crown you noble beauty of catastrophe
that black caped dagger of a girl.
