EACHDRAIDH A' CHEABHAKNAICH. 325
O Domhnuill, dha air chomain a bhriathraibh fein. Dh' fheòràich
O Domlinuill deth ciod bii nòs da. " Dhèanainn clàrsaireachd,'
ars' an Ceabharnach. " Tha da fhear dheug agam fhèin," ars' O
Domhnuill, " 's theid sinn a shealtainn orra." " Tha mi toileach
sin a dheanamh," ars' an Ceabharnach.
An uair a chaiilh iad a steach dh' iarr Domhnuill orra
tòiseachadh, 's thoisich iad. " An cual thu ceòl riamh, a
Ceabharnaich a 's brèagha na sin ?" ars' O Domhnuill. " Thàinig
mi seachad air Ifrinn ; 's cha chuala mi sgread innte 's gràinnde
na sin !" ai-s' an Ceabharnach.
"An seinneadh tu fein cruit, a Cheabharnaich," ars' O
Domhnuill.
"So a sheinneadair ! — agus cò nach seinneadair ! ! ars' an
Ceabharnach !
"Thugaibh cruit dha," ars' Domhnuill.
" Is math a sheinneas tusa cruit ! " ars' Domhnuill.
" Cha'n ann mar thogras tusa, ach mar a thogras mi fein ; oir
is mi 'tha 'g obair," ars' esan.
Chuir ceòl a Cheabharnaich na-h-uile clàrsair a bh' aig O
Domhnuill 'na chadal.
" Bithidh mis' a gabhail slàn leat," ars an Ceabharnach ri
Domhnull.
" Cha dean thu sin ormsa," ars' Domhnuill ; " feumaidh tu
mo dhaoine 'dhùsgadh."
"Tha mi 'dol a thoirt sgriob feadh Eirinn," ars' an Ceabhai-
nach ; "ma thig mi 'n rathad chi iad, agus mur d' thig biodh
iad mar sin agad fein."
Dh' fhàg se e agus thachair e air fear a buachailleachd.
"Tha clàrsairean do mhaighstir 'nan cadal," ars' an Ceabhar-
nach ris a' bhuachaille," agus cha dùisg iad gus an dùisgear iad.
Falbh thus' agus dùisg iad, 's gheibh thu na ni duiue beartach
dhiot."
" Cionnus a ni mi sin ? " thuirt am buachaille.
" Gabh bad de'n fheur sin, agus turn ann an uisg' e, agus crath
orr' e, 's dùisgidh tu iad," ars' an Ceabharnach. Dh' fhàg e'n
duine, 's ràinig e Seathan mòr Mac an larla, tri mile deug an
taobh siar de Lumraig.
Chunnaic e òglach a' tighinn. Bha 'dha ghualaiun trid a
sheann suanaiche, a dha chluais trid a sheann aide, a dha bhròig
làn a dh' uisge fuar, ròdanach, tri troidhean dhe 'n chlaidheamh
air an taobh siar dhe thòin, an dèigh dh'an scabard teireachdainn.
