"Star of the County Down" also known as "Reáilt Condae An Dún" is an Irish ballad set near Banbridge in County Down, in Northern Ireland. The words are by Cathal MacGarvey (1866–1927) from Ramelton, County Donegal. The tune is traditional and is known as "Dives and Lazarus" which was adapted by Ralph Vaughan Williams for The English Hymnal in 1906 as "Kingsfold". A star, in Irish vernacular, is a beautiful woman. John Loesberg (1980) says the air originally was set to the broadsheet ballad "My Love Nell". The oldest copy of this tune is "Guilderoy", which appears in Allan Ramsay's Tea Table Miscellany (c 1726). "Guilderoy" also appeared in Thomas D'Urfey's Pills to Purge the Melancholy III (1707), although that version is less recognizable as this tune. It was recorded by John McCormack, The Dubliners, The Irish Rovers, Van Morrison with The Chieftains and The Pogues. It is sometimes played as a "waltz" or a jig.
