BHA CLAIDHEABH AIR IAIN 'SAN
T-SEARMAN.
LE DOMHNULL MAC RAONUILL.
'Nuair chual' an sar ghaisgeach am Prionns' bhi
fo airsneal,
Chuir e litir le cabhaig a tairgsinn
Nan deanteadh le reachd e 'na dhiuc is na
dheacair
Gun togadh e Sasunn is Albinn.
BJia daidheabh air lahi, air Iain, air Iain,
Bha claidheabh air Iain '' san t-searman ;
Bha claidheabh air Iain, fear deas laiinh fna
chridhe ;
'S e '' dheanadh an fhighe neo-chearbach.
Bha Iain gun teagabh gum faigheadh e freagirt
Mun deach e do 'n eaglis fo armibh ;
Is mhosgil na mnathan le iolach 's le aighear
'Nuair 'dh ealrich a chlaidheabh 'san t-searman.
Chaidh litrichean falich an null do Lochabar
A dh-innse gun deach e fo armibh ;
Ghabh an riaghladair curam, 's bha 'n geard air a
dhubladh
Air eagal 's gun duisgeadh e Albinn.
Leis na dh'eirich na phoribh de dh-ardan Chloinn-
Domhnuill,
Nam bitheadh a phoca Ian airgid,
Gun dugadh e dhachidh dhuinn righ fir na
h-Apunn,
A dh' aindeoin fir Shasinn mur marbht' e.
'S iomadh oganach ullamh nach eiticheadh cumasg,
Bha gun chlaidheabh, gun ghunna, gun targaid,
