' There is blood on thy side, my brave one. ' [death,"
' It is blood of UUiu,' said the hero,
' Maiden like snow on the peaks.
Here, even here, Gel-chossa of my love,

My soul is fled ; I have not lost my fame.'

" ' Hast thou fallen in heav}' sleep,
Lord of Tura of rugged hills ? '
;580 Three days she sat on the bare (ground) ;
On the fourth a hunter found her dead.
There was the tomb about her raised.
In this same spot, king of great mountains,
Ryno shall be with princes of renown,
.38.5 And his path shall be peaceful on the Ben."
" Here then let Ryno sleep,"
Calmly and slowly Fingal said ;
" The voice of his renown has reached my ear.
FiUan, Fergus, bring over Orla,'^
.390 The youth from Lotha, who is pale.
Ryno, thou shalt not lie without a peer
When Orla is Ijeside thee in the grave.
Be the maids of hilly Morven in tears,
Thy son, king of Morven, may rest here with heroes ! "
" And here my son shall rest," said Fingal. " The voice of their
fivme is in mine ears. FiUan and Fergus ! hring hither Orla ; tlie
pale youth of the stream of Lota ! Not unequalled shall Eyno lie
in earth, when Orla is by his side. Weep, ye daughters of Morven !
