[ 67 ] 



Con. Bheirinfe mo fgeul dhuit, 



Fheargus, agus b'annfa leat 



Eiric m' athar b'aill learn uaibhfe, 



A mhaithibli Fiann Eirion. 



Ceann Fhin 'sa dha mhic mhoir, 



Ceann Ghuil, 's Criomthan, 's Artair, 



S cinn chloinneadh Morne uille, 



Gun feachnadh aon duine. 



Ceann Cormaic mhic Art 's Fhinn, 



'S bfuill fibh an Eirion, o thuin gu tuinn, 



A gheileach duin don aon chuim. 



No comhrag cuig ceud uaibhfe, 



Moch air maidin a maireach, 



Gu comhrag meara didhalach. 



Fin. Cia do fgeul on fhear mhor, 

 (Se labhair Fionn flath an t' floigh,) 

 Innis Fearghus e gu grud, 

 'S na ceil oirne a dhion-olc. 



Fergus. Se mo fgeulfa on fhear mhor, 

 Gur 'aill leis comhrag cuig ceud d'ar floigh, 

 A muigh air maidin a maireach, 

 Gu comhrag meara, didhalach. 

 'Se labhair cuig ceud d'ar Feine, 

 " Caifgear leinne a luathmhire." 

 Ach cha raibh mar a radh, 

 Do'n droing a chuaidh fan iomairt. 

 Le mac an Deirg bu chruaidhe lann, 

 Thuit air cuig ceud mu thiomchioU, 

 Cuig ceud eile, ged' bhi ann, 



" Inftead of Eirion, «« Ireland," the Perth edition fubftitutes Art iir uile, «« the 

 whole land."
