302 TIGHMORA. DUAN vi.
" Dhomhsa," thuirt Cathmor an treim,
" Cha 'n èii'ich fonn nan teud no dàn
O Fhonnar aig Lùbar nan leum :
Bha iad neartor tha sìnnte thall ;
Na fuadaichsa mall thriall nam fuath. 375
Fada, Mhalthos, fada uam,
Biodh Eirinn le luaidh is le fonn ;
Cha 'n'eil sòlas mu nàmhaid tha fuar,
'S nach èireadh sleagh suas le sonn.
Le maduinn a thaomas ar neart ; 380
Tha FionnghaJ fo bheart air a* chruaich."
Mar thonnaibh dol air an ais fo ghaoith,
Thaom Eirinn o thaobh an righ :
Dubh dòmhail an raonaibh na h-oidhche
Sgaoil crònan gun soiUse o shluagh. 285
Fo chraoibh o bheinn gach bard air àm
Na shuidhe thall fo *chlàrsaich fèin ;
Thog iad am fonn nach robh gann,
Is bhuail iad ceòl caol mall o theud,
Gach aon diubh do thriath do 'n robh luaidh. 390
Ri losgadh an daraich bha thall,
Bhuail Sùilmhalla mall an teud ;
Bhuail i clàrsach o àm gu àm,
Gaoth ag iadhadh mu chiabha nam beus.
An dùbhra dubh bha Cathmor fèin, 395
Fo chraoibh a bha aosda a cheann.
Bha lasadh an daraich o'n treun ;
Chunnaic e i ; cha 'n fhac i e thall ;
Bha 'anam a' taomadh gu dìomhair,
'Nuair a chunnaic e shìos a sùil mhall ; 400
Ach tha cruadal nam blàr 'nad chòir.
Mhic Borbair nam mòr thriath.
