The Irish Wife by Thomas D’Arcy McGee

I WOULD not give my Irish wife
  For all the dames of the Saxon land;
I would not give my Irish wife
  For the Queen of France’s hand;
For she to me is dearer      
  Than castles strong, or lands, or life:
An outlaw—so I ’m near her
  To love till death my Irish wife........
