poem 74

Loch Con

1. Loch Con, cía ná fitir,
   ac' ná bía in son socair,
   in gním talchair tiachair
   rochriathair rochocain?
2. 5] A hinsib Mod muirech,
   co ngibsib gol nginach,
   tucsat a rith robalc
   in chonart dia n-ilach.
3. Conart Mod cen meirbe,
   10] tomalt im thor Tuirbe,
   engsat in muicc maigne
   dar cach ndairbre nduilge.
4. Luid rempu 'sin loch-sa,
   tuc tenntu don tur-sa:
   15] lasin muicc, mó áirmit,
   robáidit fon mbrug-sa.
5. Luid i n-indsi in locha,
   feib rochind-si a catha:
   rosgab i sód seilbe:
   20] ba nód feidle in fatha.
6. Is dia roimsib retha,
   iar toirgsin a trocha,
   iarna mairn co mucha,
   dofil ainm in locha. L.
