“ Protect me, 0 King, against the rage of this king 
Who has come against thee,—and give Oileach to Oileach.” 
Then was given Aileach to Oileach, before every place, 
To the bright fair one with the splendid cheek, with the stately pride. 
Hence the name of Aileach Frigreann is given to her lands, 
And to the fort of Dagda, distinguished above every residence in Uladh; 
The government of Ireland— it is told to us in books — 
On being placed in Aileach Neid, abandoned Temur. 
Came the king of Fail, and found Aileach one solitary time, 
So that she became the mother of the Collas who figured in the world : 
The oldest of the labours [works] of Erin is Oileach Frireann — 
It deserves more praise than I will here confer. 
Twice twenty years but one—exact the computation— 
Was this fine work erected before it came to Mile’s sons [sons of Milesius] : 
Neid Mac India, high king of the north, country of flocks, 
Was the first brave man who placed his seat at Aileach. 
Nine kings of one name in Aileach, of Adam’s race: 
Eochy the name of each—a dreaded sound ! 
Eochy Ollathair the first—he, who quelled disturbance ; 
Eochy Eadgothach, who received persecution—he of the hard battle ; 
Eochy Opthach : Eochy Feileach, man of swords; 
Eochy Airev, who established his right; 
Eochy Buadhach [the victorious] Eochy mor, who slaughtered cattle; 
Eochy Domlain, the fair, well proved in the contests thick. 
Eochy Moyvaine, son of the monarch of Inchenny, 
A sea in his offspring—he against whom the battle ne’er was turned, 
Son to this man was Niall, who obtained great sway in the world, 
His great, fair, slender, proud mother was Carina, the Piet. 
The descendants of great Niall, kings of Oileach, of valiant arms. 
Huge youths of white fingers, heroic tribe—
