DUAN I. CATH LODUINN. 7
Tribualadh clàrsaich nan triath an Sehna ;
Cha 'n 'eil a guth a' caoineadh air shabh, 1 80
Sinn a* tiomachadh rianih air fonn."
Shin an righ a cheum gun stad
Ro* dhuibhre nan ciar thom ; 185
Fhuair e craobh Loduinn gu grad,
'S i lùbadh fo osna gu troni ;
Tri clacha le còinnich ghlais,
Struthan cas a' ruith ri'n taobh ;
Os an cionn bha 'n teine dol as, 1 90
Cruth Loduinn an ceò 's an gaoith.
Bha tanas a* coimhead gu h-ard
Leth-dheante do dheathach *s do cheò.
Chluinnteadh guth briste le spairn,
'S toirm uild a* taoma o'n ord. I9.j
Ri taobh daraig gun duille san fliraoch
Chluinnt* a chòmhra ri laoich gun bhàigh,
Ri Suaran is Starno neo-chaoin,
Droch naimhde maraon do'n dàimh.
Dh'aom iad air sgiathaibh dubh-dhonn 200
Le sleaghaibh nan dorn gu teann ;
Fuaim gaoithe mu Starno nan long,
'S a dhubh fhalt a' taomadh m'a cheann.
Bhuail farum a cheum an cluas ;
Dh'èirich iad suas 'nan airm. 205
" Leag fear seachran na h-oidhche, Sliuarain,"
Labhair Starno 'na ardan mhòr ;
" Glac-sa sgiath t'athar a'd' làimh ;
Tha cruaidh raar charraig nan còs."
Thilg Suaran a shleagh gu grad ; 210
