DUAN I. CATH LODUINN. S
Ghabh iad uiP am monadh fo 'n ceann ;
Sheas ha fir an duibhre liath
Air ardaibh ciar na h-oidhche
Bristeadh durdain nan duan ciuin
Air osaig ùir nan shabh. 55
Làn is maìl bha'n rè air tuinn ;
Am màile hath thig triath nan sonn,
Dubh mhac Roinne o chrom nan dos,
Sàr shealgair nan torc ciar.
B'e miann an f hir an t-eathar donn 6(.i
Ag èirigh suas air cuan nan long,
'Nuair dhùisgeadh Cromthormod a choill*
An talamh foill agus naimhde.
Cha robh eagal an anam an Dùir.
" Mhic Chumhail, an sgaoil mi mo cheum, ' 65
Measg oidhche ? o sgiath nam beum
An seall mi mu'r naimhdibh gu lèir
An sàmhchair fo fhaileas nan speur,
Mu righ Lochlin gun iochd, gun bhàigh,
Sàr Shuaran, namhaid borb nan dàimh, 70
Taomadh thall nan rann air chòmhla
Do chlach Loduinn nam fuar thaibhs' ?
Cha 'n ann gun fheum tha 'm focail mall
E.Ì Loduinn nan Gall treun.
I\lur till mac Roinne, a thriath, 75
Bhean bhanail tha triall 'na h-aonar,
An àite tachairt do gharbh shruth nan sHabh,
O Chruailinn tha sìos a' taomadh.
Air gach taobh tha cruach agus carn,
Gorm-choiUe, beur ard, is beuc' cuain ; 80
Tha sùil mo mhic air eoin nan tonn
Faoin sheachran nan tom au òige.
