Brian the Brave (1)

 BRIAN THE BRAVE [1]. AKA and see "Poll/Moll/Paul Ha'Penny," "Carolan's Dream," "Garrai na bhFeileoig," "Hawke's Hornpipe," "Molly Mac Alpin," "O'Carolan's Farewell to Music," "Remember the Glories of Brian the Brave." Irish, Hornpipe. A Aeolian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title is taken from Thomas Moore's song "Remember the Glories of Brian the Brave", set to the tune of "Poll Ha'Penny": Remember the glories of Brian the brave,  Tho' the days of the hero are o'er; Tho' lost to Mononia and cold in the grave, He returns to Kinkora no more. That star of the field, which so often hath pour'd  Its beam on the battle, is set;  But enough of its glory remains on each sword, To light us to victory yet. The second part of "Hawke's Hornpipe" is cognate with the second part of "Brian the Brave [1]." Printed source: Roche Collection, 1912; vol. II, p. 11, #212.
