OV THE POEMS OF OSSIAN. 195
Quilibet jacebat transversim supra alium
Gaudebat pugna laetus
Accipiter ob gladiorum ludum
Non fecit aquilam aut aprum
Qui Irlandiam gubernavit
Conventus fiebat ferri et clypei
Marstanus rex jejunis
Fiebat in vedrae sinu
Praeda data corvis.
Bellatorem multum vidi cadere
Mante ante mach^eram
Virum in mucronum dissidio
Filio meo incidit mature
Gladius juxta cor
Egillus fecit Agnerum spoliatum
Imperterritum virum vita
Sonuit lancea prope Hamdi
Griseam loricam splendebaut vexilla.
Verborum tenaces vidi dissecare
Haud miiiutim pro lupis
Endili maris ensibus
Erat per hebdomadae spatium
Quasi mulieres vinum apporiarent
Kubefactae erant naves
Valde in strepitu armorum
Scissa erat lorica
In Scioldungorum praelio.
Pulcricomura vidi crepusculascere
Virginis amatorem circa matutinum
Et confabulationis amicum viduarum
Erat sicut calidum balneum
Vinei vasis nympha portaret
Nos in Ilae freto
Antequam Orn r€x caderet
Sanguineum clypeum vidi riiptum
Hoc invertit virorum vitam.
