A' MJiiLilcartach. 153
Ri faicinn na Feinne bu mhbr goil,
Shanntaich a' bheist a bhith 'nan innis,
An toiseach mire agus air,
Rinneadh leatha gion gun chomain ;
Mharbh i le 'h-abhachd ceud laoch,
'S a gaire 'na garbh chraos.
Caillidh tu dosan do china chrionaich
Air son deagh mhac Oisein iarraidh.
Thairg iad dhi cumha, 's i thilleadh an taobh a thainig i. Cha
ghabhadh i sid na bha slieudaibh buadhach an Eirinn gus am
faigheadh i —
Ceann Oscair, Oisein, is Fhinn,
Ghoill, agus Choirill.

Rinn iad cro air son a' chatha mhbir
Mu'n atharraichte air faiclie na sgleb,
A' cheathrar laoch a b'fhearr 'san Fheinn
Gu'n comhraigeadh i iad gu leir;
'S fhrithealadh i iad mu seach.
Mar ghath rionna na lasrach.
Thachair Mac-Cumhail an aigh
Is a' bheist laimh ri laimh ;
Bha 'taobh-choUuinn ri guin bualaidh,
'S bha braon d'a fhuil air na fraochaibh.
Thuit a' Mhuileartach le Fionn ;
Ma thuit cha b'ann gun strith ;
Deuchainn cha d' fhuair e mar sin,
O latha ceardaich Lon-'ic-Liobhainn.
Thog iad a' chailleach air bharraibh an sleagh,
'S thug iad 'na mireanaibh as a cheil' i.
Ruith an naigheachd ud mu thuath,
Gu crioch Lochlainn nam mbr-shluagh ;
'S chaidh an (iobhainn leis a' bhrigh,
Gu teach aobhair an Ard-Righ.
