Sgrios iad as an naimhdean uile
'S thuit Mac Guilbinn 's an tòireachd.
Bhuinig iad baile 's leth Albainn,
'S e 'n claidheamh a shealbhaich coir dhoibh
Bhuinig iad latha Chath Gairbheach ;
Rinn an argumaid a chòdach.
Air bheagan cònaidh gu trioblaid
Thug iad am bristeadh a mòran ;
Mac 111' Sheathain ann le chuideachd
'S Lachain cutach Mac-an-Tòisich.
'N an tigeadh feum air Sir Seunias,
Gu 'n eireadh iad uile comhlath,
O roinn Ghall-thaobh gu roinn He
Gach fear thug a shinnsear coir dha ;
Thigeadh Mac Coinnich a Bràthainn,
Mac Aoidh Strath Nàbhair 's Diuc Gordon";
Thigeadh Barraich 's thigeadh Bànaich,
Rothaich, 'us Sàilich, 'us Ròsaich.
Ar luchd dàimh 's ar càirdean dileas
Dh' eireadh leinne sios 'an còmhstri
Thigeadh uaislean Chlann-Ill'-Sheathain,
Mu 'n cuairt cho daingean ri d' chota :
lad fo ghruaim ri uair a' chatha,
Cruaidh 'nan làmhan sgathadh feòla,
Tarruing spàinteach làidir lìobhar ;
Sgoilteadh dìreach cinn gu brògan.
