V. POEMS BY FERGUS FILIDH, OR FERGUS THE BARD.
{From the Dean of Lismore's Boole, to which reference must be
made for the Gaelic original.)
1 The author of this here is Fergus the Bard.
' High-minded Gaul,
Who combats Finn,
A hero brave,
Bold in assault,
His bounty free,
Fierce to destroy.
Beloved of all,
Gaul, gentle, brave,
Son of great Morn ;
Hardy in war,
His praise of old,
A comely man,
King, soldierly, free,
Of no soft speech,
No lack of sense,
Cheerful as great :
