'S ioma cnap is maile is meall, 

 A dha fuas air a dhroch ceann ; 

 Ar maol Chonnan gu reamhar, 

 'Sa chuig caol fan aon cheangal. 

 " Beannachd aig an laimh rinn fud," 

 (Se labhair Fionn a chro-flinuagh) 

 " Gu ma turus gun eirigh dhuit, 

 " A Chonan e«ceilidh gun fholt." 

 Sheall fin an fm air a cheil, 

 Moran do mhaithaibh na Feine 

 Retir theaghlaich m* athair fein, 

 B' fhear meoghair is deagh mhein. 



Fin. " Gholl mhic Mhome na mor ghniomh 

 " O's tu a chleachd comhradh air comhradh riabh, 

 " On ti ata bagradh ort, 

 " 'Sair moran do mhaithaibh na Feine ; 

 " Gun tugadh an ceann gu fearrail dheth, 

 " Mar thug thu do athair roimhe." 



Gaul. " Gu 'd deanainfa fm duit Fhinn, 

 " Fhir nam briathra bla binn, 

 " Cuirreamaid fuarachd 's folachd air cul, 

 " 'S bimaid uill a dh' aon run : 

 *' Gud mharbhadh tu m' fhionn 

 " Gun di feachadh aon duine ; 

 " Bhithin fein 's mo treine leat, 

 " A righ na Feinne, 'gad chabhair." 

 Ghluais Gholl, na chulaidh chruaidh, 

 Ann an lathair na mor fliluaigh ; 

 Sgu 'm bu geall dearg gnuis an fhir 

 Le feol gairge an tus iargail. 



^ There had been violent difputes between the families of Fin and Gaul, fon of 

 Morne.
