FIONNGHAL. 13^
Fa chomliair aii talla'n robh fleagh, ii.-j
Chruinnich o'n t-seilg an sluagh ;
Thàinig borb-Starn* le 'shleagh,
Dhubh-mhala mar nial air stuadh,
'S a shùil mar ruadh-thein oidhche.
" Thig-sa," thuirt Starno na strì, 120
** Aghaidh shneachda a*s mìne glòr.
Cha robii do chòmhradh flioin do 'n righ ;
Air a làimh tha fior-fhuii an t-sluaigh.'*
Thàinig le 'dearg-shùil fo dheoir,
A ciabh bu chòrr a sgaoileadh ard, 125
A brollach bàn fo osnaidh mhoir.
Co ghcal ri cobhar sruth nan carn.
Bhuail Starno a chruaidh 'na taobh ;
Dh'aom i mar chuitheamh air an t-sliabh
'N àm tuiteam o Liath-lic an fhraoich, 130
'S fuaim a' gluasad o 'n aonach chiar,
'Nuair is sàmhach a' choill' 's an t-ard,
Is mac-talla snàmh sa* ghleann.
Thug Fionnghal sìiil air a shluagh,
Is dh'èirich a shluagh fo àirm. 135
Bha 'n còmhrag mar charraid nan stuadh.
Chaidh Lochlin fo ruaig san stoirm.
Thog e òigh bu ghlaise snuagh,
Ainnir fharast, bu mhìn gnò.
Chuir a luingeas ri iomairt a' chuain ; 140
Fo Ardbheinn tha 'h-uaigh san rèidh ;
Tha stuadh mu 'tigh caol gun leus.
" Ceud fàilt air t-anam, a gheug,"
Thuirt Cuchullin bu treun làmh.
" Ceud fàilt air bàrd, a's binne beul, 145
'S air gaisirearh mn *n d'eirich dàn.
