^OEMS OF OSSIAN. 123
liright is thy form on the beach,
As the moon in the night of calm,
When (he comes forth from peaceful clouds.
The reafon why I come hither
Is to inquire thy dwelling of thee.
Who thou art thylelf, and who is thy fatlier,
Do no longer conceal from us."
This friendly greeting Conloch meets with th^
fame obflinate refufal as before : in confequencc of
that refufal the heroes engage.

Nan tre'ain bu docair ag corag
Gach gaoth a neartach' an faoithrcach
Buillean baobhaidh, b«acach, dòbhaidlu
Gu cuidrcach, cudjomach, beumnach
Bha na trein mar thuinn fa bhàirich,
Gan ruaga le lloirm ta'airt nuailaia
Ar caraig chruaidh nieadhon biiire.
B' amhail fin a ghleachd na fuinn I'o,
Chluinnte fuaim an lainn 'f gach aitc,
Fa leth feuchain lùchleas gaifge
Le minig a chafgra nàmhan.
Cliaidh an fgiathan breac a bhloidc,
Chaidh an claidhmhean gorma bhcarna,
Chaidh an lleaghan fada liobhaidh
A chaba 'fan ilri bu ghabhaidh.
Chaidh a chOlu-ag nan gath-guaine

Gun fhios, thug a charaig fuaim uaith,
Chrithich agus ghluais an talamh.
