"At Teamhair (Tara) today, may the strength of God pilot me,
May the power of God preserve me,
May the wisdom of God instruct me,
May the eye of God view me,
May the ear of God hear me,
May the word of God render me eloquent,
May the hand of God protect me,
May the way of God direct me,
May the shield of God defend me,
May the host of God guard me against the snares of demons,
The temptations of vices,
The inclination of the mind,
Against every man who meditates evil to me,
Far, near, alone or in company..."

(The "Hymn of Saint Patrick", composed before his confrontation with the druids at Tara in the year 433 A.D.)
