CATH MHANUIS. 205
"Achrionaichnam Fiannamb' aill leat mile
Bhi gun mhia' gun mheas mar Mhanus ?
Mar ghath na h òiche (gun bheum-fgeithe)
Cha d' theid neach uam fein do'n àraich.
— Fhearais oig gabh thufa na 'n dàil,
* Cha d' thug Fionn riabh blàr gun chumha."

i Mar orra-fhleibhte bha chruth,
Tra bhios dearia na maidne fan drùchd
'S a choill P a blà fan lochan fhè'ar.
Ach thuirling oiteag o 'n aonach,
'S mhill i caoin-ghnuis na tràgha ;
Threig na coillte, — threig na lleibhte
Eha san lochan fhèimh ri gàire.
— B' amhuil fin caochla cruth
Mo bhrathar teachd dubhach nar còail,
O f heachd Lochlainn bha fiar uainn.
" Tha Manus ag iarrui còraig."
Gheibh e fin, arfa Conan uaibhreach,
Bheireams' a cheann bhar a ghuaille.

* This, like many other lines of Oflian's poems, has paf-
led into a proverb.
f al. Bu chofail ri deo-grein' a chruth,
