GOFRAIDH FIONN Ó DÁLAIGH cct.

 Maith an locht airdríogh óige tnúth cáigh ris is romhóide; a thriath 'n-a óigrígh do bfhearr dá gach iath fhóidmhín fhairseang. Do thréig Mág Carrthaigh Chláir Bhreagh ar chosnamh críche a shinnsear eich do ghéagshlataibh chleath gcuill ar sdéadmhacaibh each n-áluinn. Do thréig bonnsacha bláithe ar ruaidhshleaghaibh rionnáithe —tuar annála don ghéig ghil— do thréig camána ar chloidhmhibh. Mar sin do thréig trealamh leinbh d'fhurtocht Teamhra—toisg neimmeirbh— fear fonnmhar na bhfonn sgathach re ndobhradh Conn Céadchathach. Lá do-chuala-sa an Conn-sain i gCruachain ghuirm ghealdorrsaigh, lucht altruim Chuinn agus Conn go macraidh thruim 'n-a thiomchall. Conn Céadchathach na dtreas dte do-chonnairc ar gcur bháire san mhagh fhear go n-eirreadh druadh an seingfhear fa mear marcshluagh. Gluaisis an draoi go dána chuca i gceann na hiomána; tug ar fhonn na faithche an fáidh ar Chonn aithne san iomáin. Beannaighis 'n-a dheaghaidh dhó do ghlór fhéata nar ónna an draoi do eagair Fonn Fáil; do fhreagair Conn i gcéadáir. "Cia thu-sa nó gá tír dhuid" ar Conn an chrotha nuabhuig "gér chóir grádh do ghné th'aighthe is lán mé dod mhearaithne." "Do b'iongnadh oidhre th'athar, a mhic, i n-ar mearachadh; fuair sinn gnaoi 'n-a ghnaoi choimse; fa draoi inn dot athair-se. "Is é do mhearuigh mei-se an feidhm-sin re bhfuilei-se; fuair míonBhanbha fa chách cor nach tráth ríoghdhamhna reabhradh. "Teamhair Bhreagh i mbíodh Féilim dá bhfeasda, a Chuinn chneisshéimhshing, glóir an bhaile mar do bháidh ní badh dóigh th'aire ar iomáin. "Treabh dá daingne ní dheachaidh gan losgadh ó Laighneachaibh mun ráith gcuirr saorchlochaigh sin, a Chuinn chaomhchrothaigh chneisghil. "An bhóromha fa dú dhaoibh, ga tabhach a-tá Cathaoir; gan tocht re Cathaoir, a Chuinn, is tathaoir ort a n-abruim. "A-tá—gá truime comha— ga breith leis an mbóromha bró bhan mallabhrach gruadh ngeal ag sluagh lannarmach Laighean. "Le huabhar airdríogh Laighean múr Teamhra do trochlaigheadh an port i suidheochthaoi sibh; is olc fhuileongthaoi a fhaicsin." Ó 'd-chuala Conn chríoch Muaighe orchra Teamhra taobhuaine tug dá chamán orchar uadh an conchar fallán fleadhfhuar. Tug Conn an chroidhe mheadhraigh béim dá dhruim le domheanmain mun bhfroighidh slaitleabhair saoir dtaitneamhaigh roighil rochaoin. Fear ga raibhe ciall chaide Conall Cruachna a chaomhoide tug ruathar ar a chúl Conn go múr Cruachan go Conall. "Créad mar choisgis dod reabhradh? caidhe cúis do dhoimheanman? ná séan" ar Conall re Conn "do sgéal oram, a anam." Do ráidh Conn do ling loingse "is mór adhbhar mh'athtoirrse, Teamhair gan teaghlach gan teagh meadhair Theamhrach ar dtoirneamh. "A-tá ag cur orm, a oide, Teamhair mar tá i ndochroide; tarla cor don lios rem linn; gan dol dá fhios ní fhuilngim." "Léan Teamhra ná tabhair d'aoidh" ar Conall re chéibh mbarrchlaoin "I gcléith chogaidh ní dú dol 's gan tú go habaigh aosmhar. "Léig fós d'iomchosnamh Éireann, a Chuinn na mbas mbairrshéimhsheang, a fholt laigleabhar chladh gcam, an ret aibgheaghadh agam." Do ráidh-sean—fa rádh soraidh— nach anfadh ar éanchomhaidh port fa dion d'fhearaibh re headh Teamhair na ríogh go roiseadh. Ráith Cruachan na gcladh sgathach do fhágaibh Conn Céadchathach; neamhuis a dtorann ó a dtoigh, leanais Conall an Conn-soin. Tionólaid a-noir 's a-niar Connachtaigh na gcorn mbairrfhiar; 'n-a mbróin truim mheanmnaigh san magh ag leanmhain Chuinn do-chódar. Iadhaid go n-iomad tionóil an chuid-sin d'fhiadh Éiriomhóin mun óigfhear nar bh'ónna smacht 's an cóigeadh cródha Connacht. Go hoirear mBóinne buige tiad sin—suairc a sochruide— tóir throm ag drud re a ndalta mar rug ar Chonn Connachta. Do bhí ag Cathaoir don taoibh theas slógh Laighean i na loingeas láimh re Bóinn mbreacclochaigh mbláith 'n-a mbróin neartchathaigh neamhthláith. Mar rángadar ucht re hucht Laighnigh is cóigeadh Connacht fa reachtmhar deas a ndeabhaidh san treas neartmhar náimhdeamhail. Ar ndol dá n-áireamh uile ní áiréobhadh éanduine ár trom ar tolchaibh re a dtaoibh go dtorchair le Conn Cathaoir. Suidhis féin i dtigh Tuathail gabhais Éirinn n-órchuachaigh tar éis Fhéilim do bhí i mbroid an rí ar Éirinn gur fhuasluig. Do ghéis tonn Rudhraidhe ruadh is tonn Chliodhna na gcaomhchuan do ghéis tonn mhear na Maoile res an ndonn ngeal ngruadhnaoidhe. Ar feadh fiodhbhaidhe Uladh is choillteadh ndluth nDeasMhumhan do chrom gach dlúthcholl dathach re gConn gcúlcham gCéadchathach. Géabhaidh Domhnall mac Domhnaill mar sin Éirinn n-iobhardhoinn, sgéaraidh go séimh re Sacsaibh an réidh bhféaraigh bhfleadharsaidh. A-tá éinchéim d'aithris Chuinn nach diongna mac mheic Dhomhnaill dámadh í a thír tír a shean sí re rígh nocha roinnfeadh.
