i6 DAN an DEIRG.
Shèid ofna choiitiheach gun bhàigh,
'S chuir i druim an' aird air a bàrca.
Chualas le Caoilte a glaodh,
" A ghaoil, a ghaoil, dean mo chognadh."
Ach thuirling dalla-bhrat na hòiche,
'S dh' fhàilnich a caoi'-chòra.
Mar fhuaim fruthain an cèin,
Ràinig a h èighe na chòail
'S air madainn an onfha na tràgha,
Fhuaras gun chàil an òg-bhean.
Thog e 'n cois tràgha a leac,
Aig fruthan bròin nan glaf-gheugan ;
Is eol do 'n t-fealgair an t-àite,
'S mor a bhàigh ris an' teas na greine.
'S bu chian do Chaoilte ri bròn
Feadh an lò an coillteach Eite ;
i 'S fad
Ve&oris patiens, tumidum fuper emicat amnim :
Sic Venetus ftagnante Pado, fufoque Britannus
Navigat Oceano.
Pharfal.IV. 130, &c.
