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.

Quotation marks are rendered q.

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. Typographical line-breaks in prose passages are not marked. 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.

Ō ro thairis Suibne ar barr chraoibhe urairde eidhnighe ann sin, ro thairis an chailleach ar crann eile ina &fdot;arradh . At-chúalaidh-siomh búiriudh an doimh alla, & do-rinni an laoīdh, & tuc teastmholta crann Ēireann ós aird innte, ag foraithmheadh ar-aill dīa dheacruibh & dīa im⋅níomh budh-dhéin, go n-débairt ann-so:

A bennáin, a búiredáin, a béicedáin binn, is binn linn in cúicherán do-ní tú 'sin glinn. Éolchaire mo mennatáin do-rala ar mo chéill — na lois isin machaire, na h-ois isin t-sléib. A dair dosach duilledach, at ard ós cinn chruinn; a cholláin, a chráebacháin, a chomra chnó cuill. A &fdot;ern, nídot náimtide; is álainn do lí; nidat scenbaide ar in m-beirn i m-bí. A draignéin, a delgnacháin, a áirnecháin duib; a birair, a barrglasáin, do brú thopair luin. A minéin na conaire, at milse gach luib, a glasáin, a adglasáin, a lus forsa m-bí in t-suib. A aball, a ablachóc, trén rot-chraithenn cách; a cháerthainn, a cháeracháin, is álainn do bláth. A driséoc, a druimnechóc, ní dama cert cuir: ní ana 'gum letradsa gursat lomlán d' &fdot;uil. A ibair, a ibracháin, i reilgib bat réil; a eidinn, a eidnecháin, at gnáth i coill chéir. A chuilinn, a chlithmaráin, a chomla re gaíth; a uinnes, a urbadach, a arm láma laích. A beithe bláith bennachtach, a borrfadach binn, álainn gach cráeb chengailtech i mullach do chinn. Crithach ara chrithugud at-chluinim 'ma sech; a duille for rithugud dar lem is í in chrech. Mo miscais i fidbadaib (ní cheilim ar cách) gamnach darach duilledach ar sibal go gnáth. Is olc sén ar milles-sa ainech Rónáin &Fdot;inn; a &fdot;erta rom-búaidretar, a chlocáin ón chill. Is olc sén i fúarus-sa eirred Congail chóir, a inar cáem cumtachglan co cortharaib óir. Rop é guth gach áenduine don t-slóg détla daith; Nā tét úaib fán célmaine fer in inair maith. Gonaid, marbaid, airligid; gabaid uile a eill; cuirid é, cid lór do chin, ar bir is ar beinn. Na marcaig dom thárrachtain dar Mag Coba cruinn: ní roich úaidib áenurchar dam-sa dar mo druim. Ac dula dar eidnechtaib (ní cheilim, a laích) degurchar na gothnaite damsa résin n-gaíth. A eltéoc, a luirgnechóc, fúarus-sa do greim; mise ort ac marcaigecht as gach beinn i m-beinn. Ó Charn Chronáin chomramaig co beinn Slébe Níad, ó beinn &Sdot;lébe Uillinne ricim Crota Clíach. Ó Chrotaib Clíach comdála co Carn Liffe Luirc, ricim re tráth íarnóna co Beinn Gulban Guirt. M'adaig ría cath Congaile robo sirsan lem, 'síu no beinn for utmaille ac siriud na m-benn. Glenn m-Bolcáin> mo bithárus; fír fúarus a greim; mór n-aidche ro &fdot;rithálus rith rothrén re beinn. Dá sirinn im áenaide sléibte domain duinn, ferr lim inad áenboithe i n-Glinn Bolcáin buirr. Maith a uisce idan-glas; maith a gáeth glan garg; maith a birar birar-glas; maith a &fdot;othlacht ard.

Ní anfainn ret acallaim munbad scél rom-gét, athair, máthair, ingen, mac, bráthair, ben balc d'éc. Dá tístea dom acallaim ní bad ferrde lem; ro ⋅irfinn ría matanraid sléibte Boirche Benn. Do muilenn in menmaráin no meiltea do thúaith, a thrúagáin, a thoirsecháin, a Loingsecháin lúaith. A chaillech in muilinn-se, cid 'mā n-geibe m'eill? M' écnach duit at-chluinim-se is tú i-mmuig ar in beinn. A chaillech, a chuirr-chennach, in raga for ech? No ragainn, a thuirr-chennach munam-&fdot;aiced nech. Dá n-dechar, a &Sdot;uibnecháin, rop soraid mo léim. Dá toraissiu, a chaillecháin, ní rís slán céill. Ní cóir, éim, a n-apraidsi a meic Colmáin cais; nách ferrde mo marcachas gan tuitim tar m'ais? Is cóir, éim, a n-apraim-se, a chaillech gan chéill; deman acut aidmilliud: rot-millis fa-déin. Nach ferrde let m' eladain, a geilt ⋅áerda ⋅eng, mo beith acut lenamain i mullaigib benn? Dosán eidinn imúallach ásas tré chrann cas, dá m-beinnse 'na chertmullach no ágsainn techt as. Teichim ríasna h-uiséoca; is é in trénrith tenn; lingim tar na guiséoca i mullaigib benn. Ferán eidinn imúallach in tan éirghes dúinn, gairit bím dá thárrachtain ó ro ás mo chlúim. Crebar oscar antuicsech in tan éirges dam, idnar lim is derg-náma in lon do-ní in scal. Gach áenúair ro linginn-se co m-bínn ar in lár co faicinn in cremthannán thís ac creim na cnám Sech gach coin i n-eidnechaib lúath no geibed m' eill; is é lúas no linginn-se co m-bínn ar in beinn.

Tánic frim mo thairimthecht gipé conair thías; is léir dam ar m' airchisecht am cáera gan lías. Bile Cille Lugaide i tuilim súan sáim: ba h-aíbniu i ré Chongaile Áenach Line láin. Do-raga in réodh réltanach ferfas ar gach linn; isam súairrech sechránach, 's mise faí ar in binn. Na corra go corrgaire i n-Glinn Aigle úair; elta d' énaib imlúatha chucum ocus úaim. Ní charaim in sibenrad do-níat fir is mná; binne lim ac ceilebrad lon 'sin aird i tá. Ní charaim in stocairecht at-chluinim go moch; binne lim ac brocairecht bruic i m-bennaib broc.
