90 CALTHONN IS CAOLMHAL.
Ard shòlas a' lasadh mo chlèibhe ;
Labhair am mòr righ ri Oisian,
Air thoiseach am meadhon nan triath.
*' A ghath mo threunais," thuirt an righ,
** Shìol Fhionnghail, gu stri tog mo shleagh ; 155
Gabh gu Tuaid' nan sruth corrach o fhrìth ;
Tearuinn Colmar nan carbad is fleagh ;
Thigeadh do chhù-sa am fhianuis,
Mar aiteal dol sios anns a* ghleann,
Gus an èirich mo smuainte an iosal 160
Mu mo shìol, mu ùr-chhu nam beann.
Bi-sa, Oisein, mar ghailHnn an còmhrag,
Gu ciuin is gun mhòrchuis do naimhde ;
Mar so fèin ghlan an cliu dhomhsa ;
Bi-sa, Oisein, mar mhòr-thriath Shelma; 165
'Nuair thig dàna nam focala treuna
Gu talla nan teud, chrom mo shùile,
Tha mo ruighe a' sìneadh gu beuma,
'Nuair thig lagaich fo bheud am* ionnsuidh,
Mo chlaidheamh an còmhnuidh *g an dìon." 1 70
Ghluais sòlas o fhocail an righ ;
Chaidh mise gun strì fo armaibh ;
Ri mo thaobh ghluais Diaran nam frìth,
Is Deargo, ard righ nan gorm shleagh ;
Tri cheuda o òigridh nan gleann 175
An dèigh mo cheuma air a* mhagh,
Na coigrich a' triall ri m' thaobh.
Chuala Dunthahno am fuaim
O astar na cruaidh' gu 'thìr ;
Choimhthionail e neart na gann Tuaid : 180
Air tulaich sheas sluaigh gu strì,
Mar chanaige briste le torrunn.
