Introduction
8 (Is goirt leam gdoir nam ban Muileach) ’s na
bldraibh.
A double-stressed M-phrase is repeated eight times, with
final stress penultimate; followed by a two-syllable
d-phrase with penultimate stress. An d-poem.
(51) P. 14.1:
8 (Och a Mhuire mo dhunaidh) do dhiol.
Similar to above, except that the final phrase has ulti¬
mate stress. An i-poem.
(52) P. 157:
6 (Gha surd cddail) eisdeachd
7 (Mo neart ’s mo threoir) na h-Eireann.
A double-stressed d-a-phrase, six times repeated, fol¬
lowed by an e-phrase of two syllables, with single pen¬
ultimate stress. The strophes vary between the above
and a form consisting of a double-stressed phrase six (or
seven) times repeated, with final stress ultimate, followed
by a phrase of three syllables with single penultimate
stress. An e-poem.
These are poems of the early eighteenth century; the
rest belong to the seventeenth century.
(53) P. 165 :
7 (Ach ’s e an sdmhradh a chuar sinn) mu’n chrd.
Similar to (2). An d-poem.
(54) P. 205 :
7 (Thriall bhur bunadh gu Phdro) theachd, bed.
An d-poem. In the first strophe Phdro does not make
complete assonance with the fallowing liquid rhymes.
In the other strophes, the number of phrases varies
between five and eight—if the text is sound.
(55) P. 189 : The structure of all the strophes except
the first is:
