FEARGHAL ÓG MAC AN BHAIRD cct.

 Mór an lucht arthraigh Éire; siar tar sleasaibh seinBhéirre do-chuaidh an tonnbhán tráichtte uainn i n-urlár éinbháirce. Do ghad a hanam aisde Éire na gcuan gciomhaiste dá éan uachtair chuaine Chuinn do ruachtain uain-ne i n-aonluing. Dá eite lúith Leithe Chuinn rugadar san bháirc bheannchuirr, críoch na Niall d'éanlucht uile, siar ó fhéarGhurt Úghoine. Ó Néill, Ó Domhnaill díon sgol, Ó Domhnaill, Ó Néill neartmhar, glóir Banbha i mbáirc na deise; tráicht fhalmha dá inneise. Aodh rathmar, Rudhraidhe dil, do-chuaidh 's gan iad-san d'áirimh cuire san luing-sin tar linn do thuirrsigh uile Éirinn. Rugsad Éirinn is iad sain, rugsad leo ar fhuirigh uathaibh, an dá iarla d'fhuil na bhFionn tre a bhfuil an ghriangha i ngéibhionn. Bíd cách a bhaile i mbí a dtail; ana Gaoidheal Ghuirt Fhionntain is toirthe craobh Fhuinn Uisnigh ar-aon san luing luchtmhair-sin. A bhfuil san luing-sin do lucht ní dhearna—dia do chumhucht— ar Mhúr Dá Thí Teach Lughaidh; creach mar í ní hionnshamhail. A leithéid d'éinchreich oile níor ghluais Conn ná Conaire Fád Fuinidh ó thráigh go tráigh le Mág Uidhir don Easbáin. Caithréimeach an chreach-sa siar le codhnach catha Oirghiall; rug dá choróin Chláir na bhFionn don Sbáin is onóir Éirionn. Caithréim mar an gcreich-se a-nonn ní dhearna Tuath Dhé Danann fa chreachBhanbha na gcall sean ná clann mhearchalma Mhíleadh. An chreach rothrom rug tar muir ní thiocfadh aon dá hiarraidh sgiath comhairghe crú na neart tre chonnailbhe acht Cú Connacht. Fa truagh leis cheana a chomhghaol fa ainbhreith eachtronnmhaor dá dtug Mág Uidhir a ucht ar Fhád Fuinidh dá bhfurtocht. Fa truagh leis treabhadh Teamhra 's clann Mhíleadh fa mhímheanma dar ghluais tuir fionnMhuighe Fáil do mhuin ionmhuine ón Easbáin. Gá dás acht an tráth tánaig cuirthear leis ó leachtFhánaid —eachtra do uaisligh a rath— teachta ar uaislibh na nUltach. Conall Eoghan Inse Breagh gluaisid ainn-séin ós íseal fa fhios caithleomhain Cláir Sreing —dáil do aithbheodhaigh Éirinn. Do roighnibh Éireann ann sin Cú Connacht Óg Mág Uidhir rug lucht a mhórluinge a-mach tar ucht glórbhuinne ngrianach. Do shaor Mág Uidhir oile a rug leis d'fhuil Úghoine 's a bhfuil dí san Bhanbha a-bhus; go dtí tarbha dá thurus. Tar bóchna na mbuinneadh ngeal táinig d'fhurtocht mac Míleadh long Naoi nó a aithghin oile le flaithghin Craoi Conaire. Eathar muirneach badh mhó fiach long neartmhar Naoi mheic Láimhfhiach re mbraondortadh do bhuain de do-chuaidh aonochtar innte. Long Naoi ó gach linn do lionn ar fheadh dháilte na díleann níor léig braon tuile tairsibh dar shaor uile an t-ochtair-sin. Fearg Íosa fo-deara a dáil— neach beo ar an talmhain tonnbháin níor léig an tuile throm-sa don uile acht an t-ochtar-sa. Sgaoilid ochtar na hÁirce lán d'aoibhneas is d'fhorbhfháilte iar ndílinn fan gcruinne gcé; na sgríbhinn uile mh'fhínné. Lucht na loingei-se an lucht thall, an díle fós fearg eachtrann; an Áirc reimhe an bhárc a-bhus teine i ngach trácht ó a thurus. Ar dhílinn feirge Fian nGall do chaomhuin sí sluagh Fréamhann 's na cúig tíre im Fhonn nUisnigh an long shídhe shiobhlaigh-sin. Gidh ionmhuin ní hionann sin— do shaor míle do mhíltibh fan ngortmhagh do ghabh re hArt dar an ar n-ochtar d'fhurtocht. Long eile as aithghin di-se Argho saor a snoighei-se —ní riar far dhual a dearadh— uadh do iarr a hainmneaghadh. Tríd sin fhuair an t-ainm oirrdheirc bárc nar lia lucht uabhairneirt; "long Argho" ón uair-sin i-le tarla ag na huaislibh uirthe. "Long Mhéig Uidhir" amhla sain bhias ar an athluing éachtaigh fuair ón Mhanchach baisdeadh binn arthrach na n-aisdear n-aoibhinn. I luing Argho—anba an rath— do-chuaidh an ghasradh Ghréagach caor chonfaidh fa teo tionól dá dtorchair leo Laimheadhón. Bárc nar bh'fhéidir righe ria aisde do hionnradh Aissia le neart slóigh ghasraidhe Gréag, amhsaine as cóir do choimhéad. Innte do-chuaidh cian ó shain an lucht do b'fhearr d'fhuil Ádhaimh ag dul do thaghail na Traoi; cur 'n-a aghaidh ní fhéadtaoi. Caithréim eile amhla sain do-ghéantar más fhíor d'eolchaibh le géagaibh Moighe Midhe, Gréagaigh oile a n-aimsire. Do-chuaidh athfhoireann eile i luing Argho a haimsire do Ghréagachaibh ó Ghurt Airt lucht céaddachair do chosaint. Ón lucht-sain luinge hArgho níor iomchuir bárc bheannamhra lucht mar cholumhna Chláir Bhreagh; comhumhla dháibh do dligheadh. eath innte acht iad sin dá phrímhIarla mac Mílidh sgoth luinge le lucht badh mhó tar ucht tuinne ní théarnó. Do chuir fháilte ar croidhibh cáigh toisg na nIarladh don Easbáin; 's tug a ndul tar fairrge bhfinn gul gacha hairde i nÉirinn. Mar mheasdar trá a dtocht le séan nó a n-anamhain madh éidtréan bídh don chuir-sin glóir is gruaim ar fhóir Uisnigh i n-éanuair. An long-sa do imdhigh uann cluinnsin a heachtra n-ionnfhuar tug a bhríogh im churp do chlódh; a lucht fa-ríor is romhór. Mór.
