What is that in your hand?
-- It is a branch
Of What?
-- Of the Tree of Liberty
Where did it first grow?
-- In America
Where does it bloom?
-- In France
Where did the seed fall?
-- In Ireland
When will the moon be full?
-- When the four quarters meet

--Original Declaration of the United Irishmen--
United Irish catechism reported from the Cloyne are of County Cork in December 1797. (Note the "four quarters" being reference to the four provinces of Ireland uniting.)
