The Parting Glass

Of all the money that e’er I spent... I’ve spent it in good company. And all the harm that ever I did... alas it was to none but me. And all I’ve done for want of wit... to memory now I can’t recall. So fill to me the parting glass... good night and joy be with you all. If I had money enough to spend... and leisure to sit awhile. There is a fair maid in the town... that sorely has my heart beguiled.

Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips... I own she has my heart enthralled. So fill to me the parting glass... good night and joy be with you all. Oh, all the comrades that e’er I had... they’re sorry for my going away. And all the sweethearts that e’er I had... they’d wish me one more day to stay. But since it falls unto my lot... that I should rise and you should not. I’ll gently rise and softly call... good night and joy be with you all.

Reflection Provided by Villanova University Student Isabel Forward Dear Society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, We all stood on the edge of the rock, shivering, as we looked into the tumultuous waters fifteen feet beneath us. The storm, the high waves, and the horrified look on our professor’s face only further instilled terror in us. So we stood on the edge, waiting. We had hiked out to the “Wormhole,” a rectangular opening to the ocean among the cliffs of the Aran Islands. We were greeted with wind, rain, and storms. So a group of individuals - who had only just been strangers - stood on the edge of this rock, waiting for the fear to lessen. The students on our trip had only met a week before, as we all arrived in the Dublin airport. We each sat in our own rows in the bus as we went on our way to Irish castles and gardens, to the favorite pubs of James Joyce and Oscar Wilde, to graveyards that immortalize the legacies of the people who fought and died for Ireland, and to museums recounting it’s long (and largely, tragic) history. In our free time, we walked the streets of Dublin, looking in shops, trying different variations of brown bread in restaurants, and tasting Irish cider. Through art museum commentary and our shared experience of being completely out of our element, several days after our first meeting, thirteen strangers became friends. And so we embarked to Clan Macnoise, to the Aran Islands, and then to Galway. There was a sort of melancholy as we said goodbye to our professor, to our bus driver (who, oddly enough, we would later run into on two separate occasions around different cities in Ireland), as our week together exploring seemed like a dream we were waking from. However, as we separated into our respective host houses, we shared the understanding that this was just the beginning. And so it did begin - a blur of bike rides, sunset soccer games, silent discos (strange, but unforgettable experiences), afternoons of homework at coffee shops, and newfound Irish friends. We spent five weeks encouraging each other to adventure, as we jumped in rivers, went “coasteering” (another crazy and amazing experience - definitely worth Googling), swam with jellyfish, and danced to old American music performed at pubs. We learned from our professors, but learned more from one another, as we continued to push each other to make the most of our time. When someone would see the sun come through the windows of class, we would schedule a trip to the beach. When tides were high, a group would jump off of Black Rock - a 30-foot platform where locals jump into the ocean. When new people presented themselves - a college student and clam-fisher from Massachusetts, or a vegan graduate student from Scotland - we would bring them in as friends. When workloads weren’t heavy, we would walk into town to see live music and dance. And when an opportunity would present itself - to go to a sailing festival, to go to concerts, to learn how to hurl, or to see the Cliffs of Mohr - a group would doubtlessly volunteer themselves to go. As we returned from our last trip to Dingle, we sat amongst each other on the bus, as we realized we had little time left together to discover sites and experiences for the first time. When it came time to part, we went dancing at our favorite pub, we said goodbyes, and we departed as individuals in the indescribable category between friends and family. From friends and from professors, I had heard that studying in a place completely foreign, you find yourself - but I propose a twist to this common perception. I didn’t’ t go off on my own and find pieces of myself hidden among the Aran cliffs and the coasts of Dingle (although I do think there is truth to that discovery, as well); rather, I found pieces of myself in the people I had met and in the many adventures we shared. I had the opportunity to find myself in the people of Ireland (both in the historical figures of the past and the pub-crawlers we met along the way), but also from the comers of my own school, which I had failed to explore. Individuals who I had written off as different from me proved to share more with me than I had anticipated. This conclusion is not limited to this study abroad opportunity - in traveling I have come to realize that there is no flight that can take you far enough away that you will not find pieces of yourself in others at your destination. When I reminisce on my experience in Ireland, I think back to that day in the Aran Islands as we stood at the edge of the Wormhole - none of us fearless, none of us wholly and completely brave. We came to understand that the small amount of bravery that the first of us to jump lay in all of us: that despite any and all differences, we shared this experience and the courage required to embark upon it. Alone, we did not find ourselves. But together, we taught each other that we were brave. We taught each other that we were powerful. We told each other we could do it - not in absence of fear, but in spite of it. So one by one, we stepped off the edge and fell into the sea. The fear that inhabited all of us did not overcome us - and beyond the limits of fear, we found adventure. We found our courage. And in one another, we found ourselves. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to be afraid. Thank you for giving this opportunity to others. In their bravery, in their courageousness, and in their willingness to explore a country (not fearlessly, but in spite of fear) I found my own hunger for adventure. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

MEDAL OF THE SOCIETY OF THE FRIENDLY SONS OF SAINT PATRICK

On the right Hibernia — on the left America — in the center Liberty joining the hands of Hibernia and America, represented by the usual figures of a female supported by a Harp for Hibernia — an Indian with his quiver on his back, and his bow slung, for America — underneath Unite. On the reverse, St. Patrick trampling on a snake — a cross in his hand— dressed in Pontificahbus, — the motto “Hier.”

These devices, designed some years before the Revolution, were certainly ominous, if not prophetic, — The Goddess of Liberty” joining the hands of Hibernia and America, with the superscription, “Unite,” was sufficiently significant, considering that the effect of that union powerfully promoted the subsequent dismemberment of the British Empire, and the establishment of the liberty and independence of America. The motto Hier, or, without the aspirate, Iar, In the Celtic Language, signifies “West,” — and from it came the name of the country Ere, Erin, or Ireland; and Ierna, aspirated Hibernia. But the word “Hier” had in it a duplicate and equivocal signification; peculiarly appropriate as the motto of a society whose object was to “Unite,” in fellowship, the sons of the little Isle of the “West,” with those of the great continent of the “West.”

The Founding Members of the Friendly Sons started a foundation that we continue to build upon today. A foundation not of concrete or stone, but rather three ideals Love of Ireland, Love of Freedom and Dedication to Charity.

Love of Ireland It’s a Love of Ireland whose blood runs in our veins, Irish DNA from our Fathers, Mothers, Grandparents passed on to all of her Sons and Daughters. It’s a Love of Ireland why we say, it’s your Irish heritage that qualifies you for membership here not your gender.

Love of Freedom The Founding members were involved in every aspect of America’s creation. The Society’s first President, Stephen Moylan, has been credited with first composing the words “United States of America” Our society supported, nurtured America at her earliest conception, they were present at her birth and have never left her side since.

Dedication to Charity Without lasting dedication to Charity our foundation would collapse. What the founders started in charitable acts has continued for the past 248 years and today that commitment has never been stronger. HERE’S TO A GREAT EXAMPLE OF LEADING BY EXAMPLE.

Let’s congratulate the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick for their work in the community and their 248th Annual Gala.
