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.

Is scíth mo chrob ón scríbinn My hand is weary with writing

Colum Cille cecinit

 Is scíth mo chrob ón scríbainn; ní dígainn mo glés géroll; sceithid mo phenn gulban cáelda dig n-dáelda do dub glégorm. Bruinnid srúaim n-ecna n-dedairn as mo láim degduinn desmais; doirtid a dig for duilinn do dub in chuilinn chnesglais. Sínim mo phenn m-bec m-bráenach tar áenach lebar lígoll gan scor, fri selba ségann, dían scíth mo chrob ón scríbonn.
