IRISH PERMANENT
This song is closely linked to a statue.
Question
Before this statue was moved, what could it read, engraved on the pediment facing it?
If we listen carefully to the song, we can hear:
In Dublin’s fair city, where the girls are so pretty […]
Searching this online and we found its Wikipedia page, Molly Malone song.
The illustration image of the article is a statue itself!
The “statue” section of the page says:
The statue was originally placed at the bottom of Grafton Street, Dublin.
[…] In April 2014, the statue was removed from its original location.
On the article of the Grafton Street, we can read:
The northern end of the street was for many years the location of the Molly Malone statue.
Opening Google Map to search the Grafton Street in Dublin, we can Street View at the northern end of the street.
As the statue was moved in 2014, we can change the date to one before, like 2009.
We can then see the statue, and read what’s above her.
