Editor's note: In the old song St. Patrick Was A Gentleman by Henry Bennet and Mr. Toleken, folk singers tout the success of this legendary man with a chourus of "Then success to bold Saint Patrick's fist, he was a saint so clever, He gave the snakes and toads a twist, and banished them forever."

Curiously enough the fourth verse, our favorite, sheds some light on the tradition of drinking Irish cocktails to commemorate this day. "No wonder that our Irish boys should be so free and frisky, For good St. Patrick taught them first the joys of tippling whisky."
