EOGHAN RUADH MAC AN BHAIRD cct.

 A bhráighe tá i dtor London, a ua Chonaill chaomhGhulbon, do gheimhil-se is lór do léan ar shlógh seinInse Saimhéar. I ndiaidh ar gcarad do chaill a-nois, a Néill Domhnaill, is é an bann dar mbreith ar gcúl; níor am dod bheith i mbríosún. Ní tu-sa a-mháin, a mheic Cuinn, don chur-sa i láimh i Lonnuinn; sliocht bhar n-iarnaigh ar fhóir mBreagh do iarnaigh ghlóir na nGaoidheal. An feadh nach fuil ar do thol iomdha ó Bhóinn go Beinn Gulbon i ndaoirsine 'ma-raon ruibh gan shaoirsine ag aon d'Ultaibh. A-táid eidir thuaith is chill, eidir fhuil aird is ísill, ag roinn bhar rodhochair ruibh boill comhothair dod chneadhaibh. Na mná, na boicht, na brughaidh, na huird is na hollumhain, gach mac robhras, gach rinn áigh, id chomhghlas, a chinn Cruacháin. Ionann ualach, ionann cneadh, ionann cóir dhaoibh is dóibh-sean, ionann innreamh, ionann ceas, ionann imneadh is áineas. Do ghabháil, a ghéag Eanaigh, —lór do ghlas ar Ghaoidhealaibh, cách uile i láimh as do los— ní le duine a-bháin bheanas. Dóchas laochradh Leithe Cuinn gaisgeadh curadh chlann gConuill, a-táid, a Néill Ghairbh, id ghlas a n-ainm, a gcéim, a gceannas. An glas re fada i bhfuil sibh ní glas é ar Rígh an ríchidh do bhreith as dámadh é a dheoin dá gach ghlas ós sé as seighleoir. Ós sé seighleoir gach geimhle Rí nimhe ar gceann coimeirghe do dhruim do ghiallchuibhrigh guidh, a thriathbhuidhnigh Fhuinn Fhiachuidh. Le guidhe Meic Dé na ndúl mór mbráighe do bhí i mbríosún romhaibh do saortha mar sain ar modhaibh naomhtha a-nall-ain. Do bhí—ní cúis as ceilte— neach róibh fa rígh Éighipte nar tharbha an chóir ar a chúl go ndamhna bróin i mbríosún. An chúis do cuireadh 'n-a leith ar n-a dealbhadh i ndíchleith —ní chuala an rí an failcheas fill— do bhí i n-aincheas a hinnill. An Patri-arca Ios-éabh ar ar chum méirdreach mísgéal dar leathnaigh gnaoi Dé na ndúl is é do bhaoi san bhríosún. Le toil Athar na n-uile táinig dá thaom trócaire an rí ar gcromadh ar an gcoir sí ar 'n-a lomadh dá láthair. An rí Forann mar fhuair fhios nach dearnadh air acht aimhleas do saoradh é as a haithle is é i mbaoghal básaighthe. Ní hé amháin gur saoradh sin rí Éighipt trá ar n-a thuigsin ar feadh a thíre do thogh 'n-a fhear ríghe do riaghladh. Ar gclos do neamhghair, a Néill, mar so ar aithris an fhíréin a-tá ar ndóigh a Dia na ndúl nach a-mháin nach bia i mbríosún; Acht go gcuimhneocha an choróin duit a-rís le ro-onóir gach a bhfuair sibh ar a son is gach buaidh libh dar leanadh. Ar an bhfáth fa bhfuile i nglas acht go gcroma Cing Séamas ná meas nach saorfaidhe sibh 's ar leas fraochmhuighe Fuinidh. Súil Banbha red bheith a-muigh, a mheic Cuinnmheic an Chalbhaigh, ag cur beochroidhe i gcloinn Cuinn 's ag buing eolchoire oruinn. Do thoil aonMheic Dé na ndúl biaidh trá, a thriath Seandún, do dhaoirsine rú 'ga roinn 'n-a saoirsine ag crú Chonuill. Rí nimhe, a Néill Í Domhnaill, ad-chluin th'osnaidh n-éagcomhlainn, ad-chí ar gcruth, do-chí bhar snaidhm, a ghuth go dtí fan dtoghairm. Dóchas cháich ar chanas rut; nár léige Dia a dul seachat an tsúil chabhra ad-chualaidh mé ag sluaghaibh Banbha, a bhráighe. A bhráighe. Mó an príosún fós i n-a bhfuil inghean ríogh fhréimhe Dálaigh a bhfuilnge ag crádh a cridhe doilghe dál a daoirsine. Dá mbeith nach biadh do dhochar do chách uile it iarnochadh acht an brón i n-a mbí soin do budh mór an ní a-nall-oin. Ní hionann tuirrse is tuirrse, ní grádh grádh 'n-a focair-se, ní himneadh as doghrainn dí inghean Í Domhnaill Daoile. Fa sgaoileadh Néill is Neachtain muna bheith sunn saoileachtain do bhiadh an brón mar nach fuil, ní bhiadh clódh ar cumhaidh. Nár tháire—ná táire mé— Aodh Ó Domhnaill i ndaoirse; nár chluineam i láimh re a linn ar bhfuigheall áir dá fhoirinn.
