14 CLARSACH NA COILLE.
Tha ceann-feadhn' an Loch-a-Buidhe
Thigeadh uidheamach na chomlidhail,
Le chuid daoine fein mu 'n cuairt da
Air an tarruing suas an òrdugh.
Dh' eircadli à dùthaich shil Eachuinn
Na fir bheachdail, neartmhor chrodha,
Daragan nach gabhadh liibadh,
'S cha bu chùram daibh cion eolais.
Gu 'm bu luath leat Mac Mhic Ebbhain
Le 'fhir theoma, gliuineach, dhàna,
'Dheanadh euchdan anns a' cliaonnaig
'Gearradh smuais' le faobhar stàilinn;
Mac-Leòid Dhun-Bheagain 's a dhaoine
Nach bu tais ri aodann làmhaich;
'S Mac Dhòmhnuill Duibh le Clann-Chamshroin,
Buidheann cholgarra 's an àraich.
Gu ma slan do 'n àrmunn ainmeil
A dli' iiraich seanachas an drast dhomh ;
Gu ma Vjuan am fear a cheannaich
Bho Mhac 'Ic Ailein an t-àite. —
'S mi gu'n cosgadh i le solas,
Ged-a chuirinn or ga pàigheadh,
Deoch-shiinte 'n Alastair euchdaich,
Mo chùU-taic' 'n uair 'thrèigeadh each mi.
The name Maclean is of ecclesiastical origin. Gille-
»in means Gille Eòin, or servant of John. The person
from whom vhe Clan take their name is Gilleain na
Tuaighe, a brave warrior who lived in Mull about
the beginning of the thirteenth century. BU*
