48 Beamughus Fionn noch fhrniluiiig tar
Freagras an Dearg d reach dhana

THE PRAISE OF GOLL, AND OF FIONN.
A. M. N. V. Y.
These two Poems are in short metre, and would fit a quick cheery time. The first is attributed to Fionn's son,
Fergus of the Sweet Mouth, the other to Fionn's son, Oisein.
Tradition places ' The Praise of GoU,' after the victory over Conn Mac an Deirg. The Poem is still remembered
in fragments in the Isles.
' The Praise of Fionn ' is forgotten. Oisein sings the praises of his Father ; but his song is half a Lament
to Padruig. After a reconciliation between the rival Tribes, family rejoicings came naturally, so these two are
placed together. With them is M. 13, from Gillies. N. 7. Miss Brooke's Irish version, is at page 298, edit.
1789. Mr. Mac Lean has transcribed this. No Irish type is available. V. 14. is another version printed by
IMac CaUum. Y. 5. is at page 293, vol. iii. ' Popular Tales,' and was orally collected in Barra, before 1862.
