« Then," fays Mr. Mc. Arthur, " follows Ofcar's own fpeech :" 



Donnalich na'n con re'm thaobh, 

 Agus burich nan fean laoch, 

 Is gul a bhannail mu'n feach 

 Gur e fud a chradh mi'm chriodh ; 

 Cha do fhidir duine riamh 

 Criodha feola bhi am chliabh 

 Ach criodhe do chuibhne cuir. 



" The cuibhne cuir is the caft horn of a deer," fays he, " and is 

 " reckoned extremely hard."

FRAGMENT IV. 



Guibeadh tu fin is ceud each 



Is fear ris an deachaidh frian, 



Is ceud marcadh air am muin 



Len earra fhroil on laffadh grian :

Ni don uifge ghorm an fion, 



Ge be afda dh' olas deach 



Cha d' theid a dhochartas am mead.

Thoir leat do bhean, 's dean ruinne fithe. 



See the battle of Lor a.
