PLEASURES OF HOPE ("Taitneam an dotcuis," "Suáilcí an dóchais" or "Aoibneasa an docais"). Irish, Hornpipe (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Williamson): AABB (Deloughery, Mulvihill, O'Neill): AA’BB’ (Harker/Rafferty). "The Pleasures of Hope" was the title of a didactic poem in heroic couplets written in 1799 by Scottish poet Thomas Campbell [1] (1777-1844), which, among other things, championed the cause of Poles.

Paul de Grae believes the tune may be source John McFadden's reworking of "Miss Carroll's Hornpipe," printed in piper O'Farrell's Collection of National Irish Music for the Union Pipes (1804, p. 51).

Joyce's "Cordick's Hornpipe" is very close to O'Farrell's tune, but without the distinctive 'B' notes in bar four of the second part. Another variant is "Burn's Irish Hornpipe" in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883, p. 145)"^[1].

See also "Birnes Hornpipe" and Kerr's "Byrne's Hornpipe (3)."
