Note 92 — PATRICK’S DAY.
Reading edition
Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, though in the noviciate of their Irish Regency, had the condescension to appear, this day (March 17th, 1829) at the windows of the state apartments of the castle, with large shamrocks decorating their persons; while hundreds of the common people danced in the court beneath, to the enlivening air of Patrick’s Day, played by the band of the guard.
“Chi ben principia ha il mezzo del opra.”
