GOOD WISH
Thine be the might of river,
Thine be the might of ocean,
The might of victory on field.
Thine be the might of fire,
Thine be the might of levin.
The might of a strong rock.
Thine be the might of element.
Thine be the might of troop, [fountain ?
The might of the love on high.
PRAYER
Power of eye be thine,
Power of element be thine,
Power of my heart's desire.
Power of surf be thine.
Power of swell be thine,
Power of the sap of my reason.
Power of king Cù Chulainn be thine,
Power of the king of the world be thine.
Power of the king of the Fiann.
