Excerpt from The Cabinet of Irish Literature, Vol. 3: Selections From the Works of the Chief Poets, Orators, and Prose Writers of Ireland; With Biographical Sketches and Literary Notices
His patriotic songs are the most real in feeling, and therefore the best. With these, Moore permeated society, and so created an interest in Irish matters and wrongs. Next to these patriotic songs, are those conveying moral reflections in metaphor. On the best of The Irish Melodies, and on The National Songs, Moore's lasting fame will doubtless rest. He himself has recorded this, as his own belief, in these memorable words - My fame, what ever it is, has been acquired by touching the harp of my country, and is, in fact, no more than the echo of the harp.
