Some years later a now forgotten composer learning of Patrick’s bravery wrote a melody
to honour him: he called it…Slane. But the lyrics had been lost in the fog of time, though

it was known that a Gaelic poet had written a poem loosely based on St. Patrick’s
Breastplate. Then in 1905 a university student came across the 14th century copy of the
poem and translated it into English for the first time. Seven years later an Irish woman
set the words to the melody Slane, and it immediately became a hit song.

Every blessing for Christmas and the New Year, Graham Neads
