GIOLLA BRIGHDE MAC CON MIDHE cct.

 Rogha na cloinne Conall, togha na droinge a-dearam; tolg dar seoladh rug romham, Conall tug d'Eoghan fhearann. Lais thángadar a Teamraigh rángadar re a ais Eidhnigh; do shín a éill go harnaidh re damhraidh shíl Néill neimhnigh. Toghthar Conall na gcuradh —nochar thorann gan toradh— an tslat réidh fheardha iodhan ionadh Néill Teamhra ar toghadh. Laoghaire ag tnúdh—fa toillchiall— rer n-aoghaire n-úr n-armchaol craobh ris ar easbhach iomthnúdh fionnchúl caomh fleasgach fannchaomh. Aoghaire do réidh roiréidh Laoghaire—fa léim sodháin— ríghe laoi 's oidhche d'fhagháil ar ngabháil choidhche an chonáigh. Teagar lá is adhaigh Éire dar gcabhair mar do-chuala; Conall achd gér chruaid lámha gránna an comhall fhuair uadha. Ar Laoghaire "Is leam Teamhair; aonduine im cheann ná cuiridh" "Acd lá riamh ann is adhaigh faghaidh" ar barr fial Fuinidh. Truagh do Laoghaire a luaighill aonduine uadh for Éirinn crobhuing do líon mo lámhainn síol áluinn Conuill chéibhfhinn. Síol Laoghaire ní leanann saoruidhe na ríogh romham; do-chuaidh fa a chró a fhearg d'fhulang dulann dó a chealg ar Chonall. Deich rígh don tsíol óg áluinn —a ród is do shíor shíolaim— fuair ó linn Conuill chéibhfhinn romhuinn Éirinn bhfinn bhfíonduinn. Ainmhire a arm do lúbadh garbh re hainbhfine an t-óigfhear; a mhóid níor mhín i n-éigean céidfhear dhíb na gCóig gCóigeadh. Do badh dhíbh Domhnall doinnmhear nar mhín comhlann a chrannghal; do chuir an cath re Conghal ar Muigh fhonnghlan Rath raghlan. Aodh díb ro b'fhogha uilleach, Maol mín Cobha gan chrannach, Conall fial caomh is Ceallach na gciabh ngleannach gcaol gclannach. Baodhán Liag, Loingseach Dobhair, coimseach iad ar na huilibh, Conghal caisChinn mhóir Mhaghair, cabhair shlóigh fhairsing Fhuinidh. Laithbheartach laoch nar sguchadh, gaoth tre chlaichshneachta chiothmhar, fir Breagh a brón do bheanfadh an deachmhad fear mór miodhchar. Go Domhnall Óg dá n-áirmhear dá bhfoghnann gach fód líonmhar do chloinn Néill an tréad taoibhgheal aoinfhear déag san réim ríoghradh. Deich gcéile ad-chím don chineadh tar ar shín Éire a hionar, fir go mbuaidh dhí ar a ndeireadh; fuair deighfhear í 'n-a n-ionadh. Domhnall ó Dhún chas Cnucha gan súgh mar bhlas a bhracha, ní thoghfa mé méin seacha, breatha Dé réim a ratha. Mac Domhnaill duille ar gcraoibhe Ó Domhnaill Tuinne Tuaidhe mac d'fhíonLasair a hÁine gráinne a míonfhrasaibh Muaidhe. Ó Domhnaill chéibhfhinn Codhail comhrainn d'Éirinn ní fhuirigh; go mbeire an fear fál droighin lámh re froighidh bhfear bhFuinidh. Do líon gach linn ar dtrághadh mar do ríogh sinn an saoirfhear; níor lia bó is lacht ga líonadh sa ló ar ríoghadh Art Aoinfhear. Bláth gach tíre 'n-a thoradh, gnáth díle mar a dubhadh, gach fiodh cnó mbán ag bloghadh, gach domhan lán bó is brughadh. Gach coill mhín choimhthe chomhlán, toirthe 'n-a thír ga dtuilshníomh, tonna an chalaidh ar comhshnámh lomnán maghair is muirmhíol. Maighre geal solas Sionna dar lean gach sonas sunna; do shaoirchleith mhín Deirg Droma tonna i dtír do theilg tunna. Fíon garg go tonnDruim Tuama nach tard d'Ua Dhomhnuill daonna; tonna an chuain ag cur fíona, go bun Síodha fhuair Aodha. Clann Dálaigh, Domhnuill Teamhrach tárraid go tonnDruim Dairbhreach fir do chloinn líonmhair Lughdhach, coill ubhlach, míonghloin mhaighreach. Mear toghdha glór na ngiolla colbha na slógh sleagh 's leanna, sona a gcnuic chasa chorra, donna a mbruit, glasa a ngleanna. Géill ba thuaidh 'n-a n-idh uain-ne gach ré n-uair na fir fúin-ne, ní bhí uann cáin dá chéile, dual Éire dháibh is dúin-ne. Seacht ndaighfhir díbh a-dearaim rígh 'n-a n-aighidh ní fhaghaim ar son na seacht ríogh romhainn síol gConaill ag teacht tharainn. Brian, dá Aodh, Niall cas Caille, Niall na bhFras fa caomh gcloinne, tug geall do Chonall Cime Colam Cille ar gceann coinne. Ó Domhnaill shaoir ó Shionnainn, a mhaoir ar dhonnDruim Dabhaill; do fhóir geiléan caomh Coruinn ceinéal gConuill saor Sabhaill. Nós ríogh Eamhna gur éirigh a ghníomh go feardha fáilidh nochar dhéanta 'n-a nduanaibh sluaghaidh náid éachta d'áirimh. Gidh áluinn rabh laogh lachta nó damh caomh nocha chreapfa; abaigh bláth na gcnó gcorcra; tráth molta dhó badh dheachta. Ó Duib-dhíorma an tarbh tuilmhear do mharbh an ríoghdha rinngheal; ní cuirthe i ndán go ndearnadh eangnamh ná dál nach dingneadh. Tug teach Fordroma fíonduinn gan ardlonga gan ógluing; do mharbh Ó Maoil aird Fhábhuill, 's do airg Máluinn gcaoin gcnódhuinn. Do ionnsaigh fear saor Sligigh Aodh gur lean as a leabaidh; fa ruathar suairc cruaidh cagaidh cuairt chladaigh uair an Eabair. Rug beo—is doiligh fa dheireadh— Mág Uidhir leo gur leanadh; lom gach teach as a dtabhar go caladh creach long leabhar. Goill go mín ó a chéim chagaidh, a ngéill 'gun rígh 'n-a ribibh; do fhromh deabhaidh an dreagain tor eagair sleamhain Sligigh. Ruaig 's a rionnlán áigh uirre d'iomrádh nochan áil linne; do ba ruadh colg ón choinne do-roinne im bhord bhfuar bhFinne. Ruaig gharg an leomhain loinnmhir go hArd Eoghain do fholmhuigh; do-chuaidh dá breith a Boirnibh le coinnlibh creich gcruaidh gcodhnaigh. Gé rug bú iomdha uain-ne a dhiomdha níor dhú dhúin-ne —is é linn táith ar dtíre— i ríghe cinn bhláith Bhúille. Is cáineadh dháibh dá ndearnuinn áireamh a áigh shaorloinn; gan srian re hágh ní fhuilngim, ní thuirmhim trian dál Domhnaill. Mac Domhnaill Domhnaigh Cobha nochar odhraigh a fhola ag Brian do bhí 'n-a thogha rí an bhrogha riamh a rogha. Rogha.
