CALTHONN IS CAOLMHAL. 93
Shiubhail e luath am f Viaim na gaoith ;
Chunnaic Cahhonn a cheuma 's e falbh ;
Ghhiais esa fo bhuaireadh a chruaidh :
Ghrad mhosgail caoin ChaohTihal gu balbh, 250
'Ceuma seachran ro' oidhche, *s i truagh,
Sleagh fhada gun bhuaidh 'na dèigh.
'Nuair thàinig e gu carraig an lòin,
'Nuair chunnaic a bhràthair gun tuar,
Làs giorag is fearg m'a chhabh mòr. 255
Bha osna a* bhàis m'an cuairt :
Dhùin iad, a' dlùthadh mu *n triath,
Is chuir iad fo ialla caol e ;
Chuir iad suas e fo shùile ciar ;
Bha sòlas mu shHabh a* pìaosgadh, 260
'S an oidhch' ag aomadh o chruaich.
Mhosgail mise fèin fo 'n fhuaim ;
Ghrad ghluais mi fo chruaidh mo shinns're ;
Bha Diaran ri m' thaobh aig Tuaid,
Is Deargo, an t-òg ruadh le 'neart. 265
Triath Chluthai bha againn air falbh ;
Ghluais m' anam gu balbh fo bhròn,
Is mi fo eagal mu m' gharbh chhu ;
Bha mòrchuis na treunas 'mo chhabh.
" Shìol Mhòirbheinn," thuirt mi, " a thriath, 270
Mar so cha robh sinne riamh an còmhrag ;
Cha robh ar sinns're an còmhnuidh air sliabh,
Is coigrich gu'n trian air chòmhnard.
Bha 'n neartsa mar iolair nan speur,
Tha 'n cliu mar bheus nam bard ; 275
Tha sinne a' tuiteam gu lèir ;
Tha ar cliu do rèir mar shamhla.
Ciod their righ Mhòirbheinn nam beum.
