ICl. ClUHACII,
lieaded Ciuliach before the Fingaliaiis of Albiru
When the noble Evir saw Ciuhach's head upon
the plain, she shed torrents of tears from her
cleanly and piercing eyes.
We sailed the ship to the coniines of Nuaran's
city. AVe established people of renown in the
kingdom, where the great battle was fought. We
pursued the Moman \^'ho resided there, the queen
of Spain. The same queen became wife to the
â– valiant Oscar.
Such was the direful conflict between the beau-
tiful Oscar and Oiuhach: let him come east or
west, my son would severe his head froui his neck?
None existed under the sun equal to TreiinmOr,
Trathall, and Comhal. Considering my father, no
wonder though 1 am sad. To skirmish with
sword and mail, and to be revenged on their foes;
but generous, mild, and hospitable, to those who
claimed friendship. Also, to young heroes at
.Fingal's tower in Selma; although I am now with-
out the light of the sun, without the shell, or veni-
son of the loftv hills.
