Duan II.] TIGHMOKA. 251
By the sounding stream of the rock 1
Three stones with grey heads are on high, 545
'Neath an oak that bends from the height.
There a king is darksome in dust,
The brother of Cathmor himself ;
Give his soul anew to the wind ;
Open heaven's hall to the chief. 550
With song chase his sorrow away
From the spirit of dark-red Cairbre."
