A POEM BY AODH MAC AINGIL
25. Sins* avoiding, then, it is right ever to propose,
and to attend to God*s four ends, Judgment,
Death, Pain, and Glory.
26. Shouldst thou reject the teaching of the living
because their sins disgrace them, yet it is
not right to pass unheeded the voice of the
dead : so said the prosperous Saul.
27. To abandon God for the false gods of the
poor world is madness : who does so turns
his back on heaven, and takes the road to
hell's torturing house.
2 8 . The world gave me its love, and, I beseech you
examine my condition : accept of me the lion's
instruction, O man who gazest on the skull.
O man.
There is that for you, Brighid Ni Néill, together
with a hundred thousand benedictions.
Hugo Ardmachanus.
