THE DEATH OF CARILL. $39
14.
»S truagh nach ann cathan mhilidh,
Leaigt u mhin laoich, nan dual arbhuidh ;
Bhiodh sliochd Chumhaill toirt diu torachd,
Fea' gach roid g'an leon san araich.
15.
'S tursach, deurach ceol na Feinne,
Caoi' an trcun laoich, b eibhinn gaire ;
'S tiamhaidh, doilich Fionn ga d'bhron,
Nach faicear beo u 'n teach nan armann.
16.
'S dosgaeh eug a ghaisgich euchdoil,
Thuit gun t eug-bhail ann sa chumasg ;
Mar neul piche ghluais e uainne,
'S esin an sgeul truagh is cunihainn.
17.
Oighean Shora scinnear bron leo,
A leith an Ogain chaoimh, àillidh,
Mar cheo nam beann tha gach muthainn,
Snithch, cumhach air lag mharan.
18.
Tha'n laoch araiceil, toirteil, talmhaidh,
Gun iomairt, gun arm, gun uigheam,
'S cumhann, conart, tionad comhnuidh,
Chois an loin, — gur mor am puthar.
19.
Air cuan nan leug, 's cian a ghluai?e e,
Air sumainne uathmhunn, cair-gheal ;
Ceolmhor, ceileireach 'san leirg ;
Re tim scilg a' tathach lan-daimh.
