  And burn Tobacco free as Spunk
  And fat shall never be forgot
  In Usquebah, St. Patrick's Pot”

  Happy Saint Patrick's Day, all. The Latin and angel in the image come from the Confessio I saw, in a vision in the night, a man whose name was Victoricus coming as it were from Ireland with so many letters they could not be counted. He gave me one of these, and I read the beginning of the letter, the voice of the Irish people.
  
  Haec est vox Hiberionacum, This is the voice of the Irish people
