Urail aofda, 's aon diu thufa,
'S tfhalt d' mhuineal mar neula foillfe,
'S CO On mar cheo-iheachda la' ruit ?
A bhan-fealgair aillidh do nighean.
Bha clanii Lara 'm bothan an f hàfaich,
A' tir na cuilm an deigh na feilge ;
Chunna' Colgar iad, 's e luath
Mar bheum fleibhe nuas o 'n aonach.
" Igliean Urail, imich learn f'ein,
Fo cheangal na heille bidh tathair,
Mu 'm buail e beum-fgeithe fan aonach,
'S gu cluinne' na laoich an cein e."
Le Colgar ni 'n fiubhlam fein,
Is m' athair deurach na aonar,
Fhalt aofda le gaoith ga chratha,
'S a fhuilean.gun latha gun leirfinn.^
Dh' imich nighean Urail air eigin,
'S a ceiim gu trom 's gu tiamhaidh,
Mar fhliuch-cheo an gleannan na famhchairj
'5 an dall-ghrian a' fnàmh ro neula.
Dliuifg carba fan raon,
Leum i caol aig caochan diamhair,
Tha raineach uain' air uairibh ga falach j
" Faiceani tiughar, a Cholgair."
— Tharruing i 'n tfrcang, is thuit an laocb,
Phill i gu Lara, 's bha 'n t aofda fubhach.
B' ionan fheafgar 's grian ag aomadh
Air fleibhtean aobhach fan earrach ;
No duilleach a' tuiteam fa gheamhra,
Feadh ghleanntai' fàfail tofdach.
'S ni 'm bu tearc làithe Mor-àiUe,
Mu 'n do chaidil i la' ri h athair.
— 'S tha geug aig Lara nan fruth,
Tha dithis fo dubhar a chònuidh j
Urail, is tufa aon diu,
'S aon eil' an tiuran òg ud. *
'S chaidh Gorm-àluinn 's mi fein gu tràigh
Fo fgeir fhàfail f huaras òs:.
* The bards always adapted their fongs to the circuni-
fiances of their hearers. The cafe of Conar was fimilar to
that of Ui-al ( and hence the propriety of Carrii's for,j.
I'hich ends here.-
