Fol. 5 b. An Irish poem on the Wise Men of the East 

 who were led by the star to Bethlehem, consisting of eleven 

 quatrains. Notwithstanding the assistance of Toland, who 

 professed to be well versed in the Irish language, Wanley has 

 so far erred in his estimate of this composition that he styles 

 it " Glossariolum quoddam Hebraice, Latine, et Hybemice ;" 

 and Mr. Westwood, in his Palteographia Sacra, repeats the 

 statement. The poem is as follows, and the accompany- 

 ing translation is from the accurate pen of Mr. Eugene 

 Curry.
