UIBE
Seachaiim Caoilte, seachaiuu Luath,
Seachainii IJrucliag dhubh nam bruach,
Seachaiun saigh an earbail dhuibli,
Bran mac Buidheig, namh nam fiadli,
Agus Geolaidh dian nan damh.
Ma theid thu do ghleannaibh io^^al,
Faicill ort romb chlanna Baoisge,
(•lanna Baoisge 's an cuid con.
Da cbiad diag a dh' aireanih fhear,
A lann fein an laimh gaeb laoicb,
A chu fein an deigh gach fir.
Us iad air eil aig Leide mac Liaunaiu,
Us fearan beag ri sgath creaige.
Us da cbii dbiag air lothain aige.
Us eagal air nach tig tbige.
Avoid ' Caoilte,' avoid ' Luath,"
Avoid black ' Bruchag ' of the banks,
Avoid the bitch of the black tail,
' Bran ' son of ' Buidheag,' foe of deer,
And little ' Geolaidh ' keen of stags.
Shouldst thou go to low glens.
Beware thou of the ' Baoisge ' Clan,
The ' Baoisge ' Clan and tlieir hounds.
Twelve hundred of numbered men.
His own blade in each hero's hand,
His own hound after each man.
And they on the thoiigof ' Lide ' son of ' Liannan,
And a little manikin in shade of a rock.
While twelve dogs he has on leash,
And he fears the hunt will not come to him.
TH fith
Ni mi ort,
Le Muire na frithe,
Le Bride na brot,
Blio chire, blio ruta,
Bho mhise, bho bhoc,
Bho shionn, 's bho mhac-tire,
Bho chrain, 's bho thorc,
Bho chu, 's bho chat,
Bho mhaghan masaich,
Bho chu fasaich.
Bho scan foirir,
Bho bho, bho mharc,
Bho tharbh, bho earc,
Bho mhurn, bho mhac,
Bho iantaidh an adhar,
Bho shnagaidh na tahiiha,
Bho iasgaidh na mara.
'S bho shiantaidh na ffailbhe.
