The queen, it is told, when one of his speeches was brought to her, said: 'This is all Blarney; what he says, he never means.' "Now, this is the reason for kissing the stone up there in the tower.
Listen: "'There is a stone there, whoever kisses, Oh! he never misses to grow eloquent; 'Tis he may clamber to a lady's chamber, Or become a Member of Parliament.
A clever spouter, he'll sure turn out, or An "out--an'-- outer" to be let alone; Don't hope to hinder him, or to bewilder him, Sure, he's a pilgrim from the Blarney Stone.' "Now, then, these are the facts in the case," concluded Lucy.

The wonderful stone then drew his attention.

It is set in the parapet wall, being one of the under stones in the middle of the tower.
