*0 Renehan Manuscript 107, 152. A list of contents
prefixed to the volume describes this piece as a poem to the harp
of Donnchadh, 4th Earl of Thomond, but as that nobleman,
" a ruthless Elizabethan," was never banished by the English,
there is reference in the seventh stanza to Conchobhar the 3rd
Earl, his father, who in 1570 fled from Thomond and spent
a season in France (Four Masters). A short copy in O Renehan
86, 369 has Tarna for Daighre in stanza 6.
