The trumpeter, and cook,*' 



Let us place in their order ; 



Cheering mead, not a flatulent kind, 



To drink is given them. 



The house-builder, and rath-builder, 



The raith-Jitheir, above the bruigh, 



To them is given a milgitan," by consent, 



'Tis their share every time. 



Shoemaker and turner. 



With proper friendship. 



Not small the share, fierce work, 



The fat [part of the] shoulder*' for them. 



The door-keeper, the noisy humorous fool, 



The fierce active kerne, 



Their duty is to call aloud. 



The chine is their share. 



Good pipers, chess-players, 



In the eastern aurraidin,^ 



A proper colptha is given for their skill,

" Imoa, see p. 149, where this is expressed by ichcop pemop in c-plinnein. Teige O'Rody, in his Gloss on 

 the inauguration Ode of Brian na Murtha O'Rourke, explains imoa by the modern word plinnean, a shoulder. It 

 is also so explained by Michael O'Clery, and thus used in Cormac's Glossary in voce Deac : " Claioem pon 6 ca 

 mo na laime co pice in ale pil icip m imoa acap m maecan." i. e. From the extremity of the hand to 

 the joint between the imdha and the maethan is called the claidhemh,

■" The airidins are the two divisions of the house on each side of the centre. Each of the airidins contained eight 

 imdas, or seats, in each of which two persons sat at dinner.
