SEAÁN BUIDHE MAC BRUAIDEADHA cct.

 Dlighidh ollamh urraim ríogh; dlighidh rí cách do choimhdhíon; gidh sluagh do chromadh fa a chuing dual dá ollamh a urruim. Rí go hurramach umhal re hucht fheirge a ollamhan —gealaidh snuadh dubhlachta dháibh— is tuar umhlachta d'fhagháil. Cúis eatha d'fhás tre thalmhain urraim airdríogh d'ollamhnaibh; an tsíon ón fhoighide as fhearr, gloinide síodh is soineann. Tig don bhreith bláth tre dhairghibh, is móiriasg i mionaibhnibh, na croinn dí ag donnadh a bhfolt, rí dá ollamh ag umhlacht. Biaidh ó so a-mach sa Mhumhain ót umhlacht dot ollamhain suan, a Mhathghamhain, 'gun mhuir, tuar daghtharaidh, tuar turuidh. Mh'urraim uait fat fhíon chomhóil 's ar fhuilngis uaim d'easonóir, a Í Bhriain, a bhronnadh greagh, d'ollamh im dhiaidh budh dídean. Do las mh'uaill ót fhíon nuadhonn 's ót uaisle d'fhior aonghualann, a bhas sheang ghéigmhíolla gheal; fa teann éigcríonna mh'aigneadh. Bríogh uaibhreach an fhíona fhinn tug mar do arduigh mh'inntinn; neart an dá fhíon it ollamh gníomh nar chleacht ar chéadlongadh. Niam ciontach red chéibh ndrolaigh fa a ndubhairt mé, a Mháthghamhain, dámadh gníomh mh'fhearg-sa—is ní headh— acht t'fhíon dearg-sa is do dháileamh. Gach easurraim dar fhéad sinn duit, a Í Bhriain ó Bhoirinn, tug mé acht gan mé dod bhualadh; fa drud é re hanuabhar. Níor choigleas, a chiabh na ndrong, tu-sa—níor theangmháil chomhthrom; tú rom choigil-se, a ghruadh glan, a sduadh bhoiginnse Breatan. Buinne luath lasrach mire ná néal gréine goirtighe; loisgnighe m'fhearg—do bh'fhearg mhear— gur shearg t'fhoisdine mh'aigneadh. Mei-se go crithreach corrach, tu-sa áiseach urramach, ar dteagmháil, a shlat Shligigh, lat gá headráin d'fhoighidin. Mar so is dual, a dhreach chochlach; file faobhrach freagorthach agus rí maithmheach málla do-ní taithleach teagmhála. Dá mbeitheá mar do bhí sinn is lasair fheirge it inntinn ó ar dteagmháil agus tu-sa ar n-eadráin níor bh'urusa. Ná bíodh aithmhéala, a fholt tais, ort-sa fan urraim thugais; rug th'uirrim ós aird t'áirimh, a bhuinnsheing aird fhorbhfáilidh. Iongnadh dhuit-se dá ndeachadh d'éis do chlú do chéidleathadh ar aithreachas dod ghnúis ghil an chúis aithleathas th'áirimh. Ó adhnadh t'fheirge im aghaidh do b'fhearr mhei-se, a Mhathghamhain, le a bhfríoth d'urraim ód ghruadh gheal dámadh fuar umainn th'aigneadh. A Í Bhriain bhalbhas tonna, budh feirrde th'ádh urruma th'abhra glan dromannach dubh damh go hurramach umhal. Urraim cháich, ceilt dá ndeacraibh agad, a mheic Muircheartaigh, an bhreath chumainn as cubhaidh, is t'urraim dot ollumhain. Urraim ót fhilidh d'fhagháil do budh ei-séin t'easonáir; t'anóir, a bhile Bhanbha, t'fhile d'fhagháil th'urrama. A-déar riot, a rí Bhanba; "do-fheadar iocht Mathghamhna; ní fhúigfeadh mé a ghualainn ngil, dá mbualainn é mun aim-sin." Usaide dá fholt drongach bheith dá ollamh urramach d'uirrim ní iarrthair acht sin ar choinnill iarthair Uisnigh. Sgéal beag agam dá fholt fhionn ar uabhar ollamh n-Éireann dias dar ghiall gaisgeadh 's gal ar Bhrian Mhaisdean 's ar Mhurchadh. Lá do riacht Murchadh meadhrach go Ceann Coradh gceithearnach, an bile úr geaslach geal ag súr easlach is innbhear. Bean oirfidigh Mheic Liag loinn tarla dhó ar ndul san urlainn; laogh ar shlabhradh ghlas 'n-a ghlaic ar hadhnadh as do b' orrdhraic. Tug grádh ar láthair don laogh, guidhis an inghean fholtchaomh Murchadh fa mhac na heilte slat na n-urchar n-innilte. "Fa chomhair Bhriain muna bheath fada go bhfuighthea eiteach uaim, a chraobh bhíthe bhanda, fan laogh síthe saorchlannda." "Gér bh'fhearr uait linn" ar an bhean "soidhfidh dhamh-sa fa dheireadh, a chaomhchraobh do chlannaibh Luirc, an baothlaogh allaidh orrdhuirc. "An séad ríogh do ró go Brian" do ráidh an inghean fhoiltfhiar "ciodh nach biadh gidh bronnadh teann ó Bhrian ag ollamh Éireann? "Don oirfideach ón ollamh dáilfidhear an deaghbhronnadh; an laogh bu liom-sa fa dheoidh, a chraobh fhionn-sa dot aimhdheoin." Re briathraibh millse na mná mac ríogh Éireann do iompá; tug an laogh don inghin óig —taom as ar imdhigh urchóid. Gabhais éad dá fhaicsin sin oirfideach Meic Liag Luimnigh dar gheall Inis fhádbháin Fháil d'fhágbháil gér bh'iris éagcáir. "Ní bhiú-sa i nÉirinn idir" ar Mac Liag "d'éis mh'oirfidigh." "ní bhiú" ar Brian na ngéirreann nglan "i bhfiadh Éireann gan mh'ollamh." "Tríom-sa ní thiocfa" ar Murchadh "Mac Liag dá lean sobharthan" ar an tslat fhial ágnáir fhionn "ná Brian d'fhágbháil na hÉireann." "Ós mei-se as éasgaidh n-asdair leig liom mo lucht tuarasdail" ar a mhac re Brian mBanbha slat fa rian gach ríoghdhamhna. "Dá léiginn-se leat tar muir lucht do mhórbhronnta, a Mhurchaidh," do ráidh Brian nar óbair fheall "ba dá dtrian d'ógaibh Éireann." Ag mnaoi an oirfidigh ann soin tarla tuarasdal Mhurchaidh; do ráidh sí nach biadh a-bhus is triall don tí dá dtárras. Inntinn re haitheasg na mná don oirfideach do iompá dar fosdadh Brian na mbrat nglan gan triall is a mhac Murchadh. Le hardollamh Innse Fáil geallais Brian Éire d'fhágbháil; na táinte bó an bronnadh each mó dá ollamh an t-eineach. Muirn Meic Liag 'n-a lasair thruim 'n-a tuinn ionnarbthaigh ionuinn, rinn ar macnais-ne go mear ón linn atmhair-se im aigneadh. Clann Táil do thileadh Banbha saoilim le séan Mhathghamhna Banbha fa bhreith a chinidh ar gcleith fhaghla is aindlighidh. Dlighidh.
