CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

All editorial introduction, translation, glossary, notes and indexes have been omitted. Editorial corrigenda are integrated into the electronic edition. Only the text of the Murphy's edition is retained, and for this electronic edition the variants cited by Murphy are not reproduced. A full citation of variants is likely in a future electronic edition.

Text has been checked and proof-read. All corrections and supplied text are tagged. Further checking is required.

The electronic text represents the edited text. Words are segmented in accordance with CELT practice, but this segmentation may not be yet complete.

There are no quotation marks.

Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break or line-break, the page-break and line-break are marked after the completion of the hyphenated word.

div0 encloses the whole text; div1 is the poem. Page-breaks of the printed text are marked.

There are no dates.

Names of persons (given names and surnames), groups (dynasties, tribes, peoples etc.), places are tagged. Numbers and dates are tagged.

A Choimdiu, nom-choimét Lord, Guard me A Choimdiu, nom-choimét, etir chorp is anmain, etir iris n-imglain co n-digius fon talmain. Coimét dam mo shúile, a Ísu meic Maire, nácham-derna santach aicsin cruid neich aile. Coimét dam mo chlúasa, nár chloistet fri écnach, nár éistet co rognáth fri baís for bith bétach. Coimét dam mo thenga, nár écnaiger duine, nár cháiner ar-aile, nár báiger tré luige. Coimét dam mo chride, a Chríst, ar do baíde, nár scrútar co trúaige dúthracht nacha claíne. Ní raib miscais foa, ná format, ná dallad, ná dímmus, ná dímes, ná éilned, ná annach. Coimét mo broinn m-builid, nár líntar cen mesair; co rop déiniu a tosaig, a bith isin tesaig! Coimét dam mo láma, ná rigter fri debaid, nár chlechtat íar sodain athchuingid fo mebail. Coimét dam mo chossa for bith builid Banba, ná digset a fosta fri tosca cen tarba. Nírbam utmall anbsaid, a Meic mo Dé deithnig, co ná farcbar m' ined co rop dliged deithbir. Coimét mo ball ferda im genus co n-glaine: étrad ní rom-báide, ním-tháirle, ním-thaire. Ním-reilce i cair cennda dond ochtar ard airdirc: a Chríst, tair dom dochum, día tofunn, día tairbirt. Nom-erbainn duit uile dom dítin cen doidnge; ar do rath co roimét nom-choimét, a Choimdiu.
