EOCHAIDH Ó hEÓGHUSA cct.

 Dealg athálaidh othras Taidhg; dar n-antráthaibh tochta an tuilg; créacht oile ar fheolfhoghail ndeilg loighe an deirg bheoghonaigh bhuirb. Ar n-eagla tar éis gach chráidh an té ro budh teasgadh dhúin; is sádhadh deilg deoidh i ndeoidh i n-áladh bheoil dheirg nar dhúin. Rugadh uain-ne—anba an choill— na huaisle fa hannsa linn; fuighleach áir chathshlóigh Ó gCuinn do bháidh i dtuinn athbhróin inn. An Aodhchlann rer dheacar dréim do heasgradh go haonchrann siuil; damhraidh as daithe do-chuaidh saithe sluaigh bharrghlain Ó mBriúin. Gan iarsma leanfas a lorg ar ealbha na ngliadhchath ngarg ní tearc m'aithghin trá ro threaghd dealg san aithchneidh mar tá Tadhg. Táinig d'othras eidhre Briain gan dochar eile ar ar n-úidh —ar dtreabhlaid fa súgradh sáimh— dúbladh cráidh gur dhearlaig dhúinn. Níor theinn go heasgar an fhir; níor theidhm achd teasgadh mar sein, beag más tinne an tí ar a bhfuil; níor doigh linn-ne ní achd a neimh. Ní rángas deacar go a dháil, go a theasgadh ní tángas fúinn; do b'í an chreach-sain críoch ar leoin; easbhaidh 'n-a dheoidh ní díoth dhúinn. Beo ar n-aignidh, éanlaogh ar léis, ar ngéagcraobh go n-aibche fháis, snáithe ar saoghail, seadh ar gcruais, ar nguais, ar gcneadh bhaoghail bháis. Ar meadhar, ar macámh búidh, ar mbradán beathadh, ar mbrígh, ar n-aon d'fhine, iarsma ar n-áir, dile ar ngráidh, ar siansa sídh. Iomdha cruth i n-éagcruth uadh is céadfadh dá cur ar gcúl, títhe greanta ar mhíonbhun méar, dearca fréamh gcíordhubh dá gcrúdh. Ní tearc triathfhlaith gan chur gcrú is fiallach nach glac a ngó 'n-a los-sain 'n-a loighe a-tá 's croidhe mná 'n-a chosair chró. Ní cleachtar corma ná ceol, leantar don orchra mon-uar folcadh feadh gciabhchorach gclaon niamhthonach taobh ngeal na ngruadh. Iomdha ó leathbhruach Léime an Chon go hÉirne na ngealchuan ngeal beochroidhe ar n-a ghoin ón ghal goil ban is eolchuire fhear. Le dubhadh eagla mon-uar don chur-so ní leagar lámh; níor fheac sinn le sealadh fúnn ní bearar glún linn do lár. Ní dó uile is eagal linn a thuisle achd go dteasgfa sinn, buille ar mbuana, béim ar gcroinn; fa coill gan fhréimh uadha inn. Ní hé caointear achd cách féin; dá gach aoinneach do b'fháth bróin; do sheich sna croidhibh ro chráidh gráin gach neith badh doiligh dhóibh. Ní hiongnadh go gcaoinfeadh cách fraoichneimh na bhfionghal 's na bhfuath, fearg na síon, catha na gcríoch, fíoch na ríogh, tacha na dtuath. Gár mheisde don mhac-sain Briain a sgarad re a mbeirtibh bróin mar shompla cobhartha cháigh; nochttha dháibh comhartha cóir. Is iad caointear ceann i gceann gion go saoiltear gan iad ann, súgh talmhan, tromthoirthe coll, torchairthe tonn marbhghlan mall. 'N-a othraisbheirt faghthar faill, ná hadmhadh othairchneidh dtruim; sgiamh aithmhéile ní háil linn ar rinn áigh caithfhréimhe Ó gCuinn. Éirgheadh sunna ar chomhair cháigh i gcosmhaile a chrotha féin; sgaradh sé a dhíchealtair ndúir re a ghné mbúidh síthshearcaigh séimh. Ní hoircheas a bheith—ní bhia— mar sein san troimcheas i dtá; cuirthe do ghríbh ghroighigh Chua brígh nua sna croidhibh do chná. Gan dulann re dathadh colg, fulang gan amharc na n-ard, gan fhaghla, gan iomramh sealg— iongnadh an cheard tharla ar Thadhg. Ní sgíos comhnuidhe do chleacht, ní sníomh tromthuirse, ní tocht, oigheadh cnámhtha cruaidhe cniocht —gé thárta riocht nuaidhe a-nocht. Meince a aghadh ar fhál reann go dtrásd iná i dtathamh throm bas daithgheal le ndeargthair lann bann tre cheardchaibh caithshleagh gcorr. A chos chuinge catha Ó mBriuin, do luighe is tacha dar dtreoir, a chisde na gcianbhann lúidh nach brisde fúibh fiarbharr feoir. Táirtheabhar—gá truaighe treas— táithcheangal go nuaidhe a-nos; cúis tuirse mar táithe i nglas fa gnáithe i n-as cuisne an chos. Mac Máire ar n-annsacht—liach linn— Tadhgmhac Briain, ar mbráighe ghill, ar gclár tilte, ar dtuir gan bhuing, ar nguin buinn, ar dticne tinn. Ar ndá Aoidh-ne an Eanaigh bhí a n-imtheacht do mhearaigh mé; deacar meas m'inshníomha ar aoi rom chnaoi i gceas dimbhríogha a Dhé. Dealg.
