EOGHAN MAC CRAITH, AN t-ÓRTHÓIR, cct.

 Iomdha uaisle ar iath Laighean; a n-áireamh ní fhéadfaidhear, ní headh nach éidir gidh eadh seal éigin ar a n-áireamh. Leo an chuid as uaisle d'Éirinn clann Chathaoir mheic mhóirFhéilim críoch as ar mhínigh Magh Fáil as ghar d'fhíndigh is d'éadáil. An cúigeadh cuid do Chlár Breagh is comha cheathra gcóigeadh tugadh do chloinn Nuadhan Neacht leis nach loinn uabhar d'éisdeacht. Na tolcha as teirce sreabha, na linnte as lia éigneadha, 's an úir as saidhbhre sealga fúibh, a Laighne láimhdhearga. Aoibhneas iarthair an bheatha i nbhar láimh, a Laighneacha, an ghoirmthealach fhóidshean fhionn 's cóigeadh oirthearach Éireann. An múr ós Dhuibhlinn is dí, 's an ráth i raibhe Ó Baoisgne, ráith Teamhrach fa ngealann grian, is seanfhann greadhnach Gailian. Cúigeadh Laighean na learg dtais muna chuirthí cré Pharrthais níor shill súil, níor thiomchuil traigh úir budh ionchuir 'n-a haghaidh. An rann coimmeasa do-chiam ag breith ghill do ghurt Ghailian as gheineas Bóinn is Bearbha leigheas dóibh ar dhoimheanma. Gach buaidh nuadh, gach sochar sean dá gcluinim ar chrích Laighean ní hé do uaisligh í acht Art ag a mbí ar uaislibh umhlacht. Géag phailme Pharrthais Ádhaimh mac áirmheach Airt Chaomhánaigh mac Sadhbha no saoi do nimh slat naoi mheic Amhra a aithghin. Ní hionann béas—is báidh leam— d'Art agus d'uaislibh Éireann fiú leis gach neach teacht 'n-a theagh 's is tearc teach i n-a dtéid-sean. Umhluighthear dhó i mbonnaibh beann 's i gclochaibh aolta Éireann; do-ní a mbí san fhionnmhuir d'Art 's a mbí san fhiodhbhuidh umhlacht. Laighnigh na laoidheang dtana Art fhóireas a n-easbhadha gan bhreith ngill an ní fa nimh nach bí re a linn i Laighnibh. Do mhéaduigh neimheadh gach naoimh sochar do chlannaibh Chathaoir; glór laoidheadh agus leabhar, glór aoigheadh dá n-uaisleaghadh. sa díobh as dú a leanmhain ainm suaithnidh i seinleabhraibh ainm cóir do Laighnibh do lean Laighnigh an óir a n-ainm-sean. Ór uatha i ndíol gach dána, is ór chuca a gcíoschána; laoich ó tholaigh mhóir Mhogha monaidh óir a n-almsodha. Ór corcra ar chlár a mbrannaimh, ór ceard ar a gcathbharraibh, ór tar sréin nglannuaidhe a ngreagh le féin lannuaine Laighean. Ní leasainm Laighnigh ar óir d'fhéin Laighean um cheann gcomhóil; féinnidh um an ól ní ibh éindigh nach a hór ibhthir. Do chumhdach a gcolg leabhar iomdha ór dá aithleaghadh; 's is iomdha bruithean óir ann do bruitheadh do bhróin buabhall. Ní dleaghar ionnmhas eile mar éiric 'n-a n-oirbhire einioclann d'ór ó gach fhior do shlógh geimhiolthrom Ghaoidheal. Clann chéadfadhach Chathaoir Mhóir darab cíos comhtha deargóir, a n-anáir do-chiú ar an gcloinn gan a fiú d'fhagháil d'urroim. A-tá rí orrdhruic orra ar a bhfuil ádh urroma; éigne ó Bhóinn bháineithrigh Bhreagh áirimhthir ós ghlóir Ghaoidheal. Clann Chathaoir, ceardcha an chogaidh, fa Art Óg ní fhuaradair lá nach mó sa mhó a meanma ón ló a-tá 'n-a thighearna. Ní faghthar, ní fríoth, árach orra fa Art Chaomhánach; doras gáidh ann níor hosgladh i n-am áigh nar iadhosdar. Sleagh bhaoghlach 'n-a bhais tana fraoch catha ar Mhac Murchadha; go n-athraigh Art gné an ghallgha gan é i n-alt a agallmha. Rí cúigidh láimhdheirg Laighean gidh bé fáth far feargaigheadh ar a leas nó i n-aghaidh Airt i dtreas ní lamhair labhairt. Do bhíodh ag leonadh lann nglas mar do ghabhadh fearg Fearghas; re mac rionnamhail Rosa ionnamhail an eagla-sa. Agra leis ní lamhadh neach tagra ris níor fheidhm áiseach taoiseach cuaine fhear nUladh feadh a uaille d'ardughadh. Fearg mheic Róigh i Ráith Mhacha 's a bhéimeanna baoghlacha do adhain fearg mar í ar Art rí danab ceard an chródhacht. Fearg an tochair ní théid de an rí go cluinsin gceirde; nó go searg le snáth umha a fhearg ní háth iondula. Gion go ngoirthí roimhe riamh roileag Éireann d'iath Ghailian rí danab cáir cairt Bhanbha i láimh Airt is iongharma. Iomdha.
