FEARGHAL ÓG MAC AN BHAIRD cct.

 Teasda easgcara an fhiadhaigh; tug ar chroidhibh ceoidhiamhair; easgcara ní fhuil ag oigh i Muigh chneastana Criomhthoin. Easgcara fhiadhaigh Éireann Ábhartach na n-airdchéimeann; níor ghein cú a sáruighthe sain i gcrú fhánfhoirbhthe Fhionntain. Fáth tuirrse aca ní fhuil subhach feasda na faolchoin i gcrích mhín bhánacraigh Bhreagh do bhrígh Ábhartaigh d'oigheadh. Do-ghéabhtha ar faighthibh a bhfios; ag mucaibh allta i n-uaigneas ní ba hiomdha feasda fail ó theasda a mbiodhbha bunaidh. Cnuic oireachtais fhóid na bhFionn leabtha suain fhiadhaigh Éireann; daimh Chláir Chodhail tres an gcoin dáibh ní homhain acht urchoir. Níor bh'iongnadh buaidh do bhreith dhí; uasal an t-altrom fhuair-se; ar ghlúin bheithreach bhruaigh Eanaigh feithmheach fhuair a hoileamhain. Díol a caointe í as a n-ucht ar ghlúin 's ar ucht Chon Chonnacht —dá ní do dhúisigh mo dhéar— do bhí an chúi-sin 'n-a coiléan. Níor chuir Mág Uidhir fhuair clú dalta ortha acht an t-éanchú; clann Cholla fa dine dhó; righe orra ag a n-iarghnó. Dalta oile acht coiléan con nó leanbh budh oidhre d'ollamh brón do shíor orra re headh ar shíol gColla ní chuirfeadh. Cú dearg Osgair nar ob cath, nó Sgeolang, nó Bran buadhach, nó Adhnuall do b'aithghin dí ag flaithghin armshluagh nÉirne. Re linn Ghofraidh fháthaigh Fhinn san Mhumhain na múr n-aoibhinn do bhí cú ren samhail sain do thabhaigh chlú d'Íbh Carrthaigh. Cú Mhéig Carthaigh Chuain Line iomad a héacht n-oirdnidhe don triathchoin do thobhaigh geall ó chonaibh iarthair Éireann. Ar dhumha sealga ós Loch Léin tuitid lá—lór do chaithréim— ceithre doimh ós gheilleirg ghlain leis an gcoin gceinndeirg gcréachtaigh. Faolchú neimhe d'éis an áir tarla dhi—dia do neambáidh— tug ar an gcoin créacht go neimh; a goin níor bh'éacht i n-aisgidh. Tuitid ar-aon—anba an ghomh; do dhoirt sí fuil na faolchon 's do dhoirt an faolchú a fuil gér ghoirt le caomhchrú Charrthaigh. Mág Carthaigh do chosain seilbh tug dealbh dearsgaighthe ar dhoidheilbh; néal bróin fan éachtchoin do b'fhearr do sóigh ós réaltain Raoileann. Gofraidh Fionn do ullmhuigh í marbhna na con ad-chluintí; táinig d'oide Tighe Táil a fighe d'oige iomshláin. Do mharbhnaidh chomthaigh chiallaidh do chuir drong rann roidhiamhair fáthGhofraidh Fionn muin ar mhuin; snáthghlanfaidh sionn a samhail. Do chumas don choin-se thoir marbhna do Ghaoidhilg ghréasaigh mar chéadmharbhna na con thiar ar son gréagdhamhna Ghailian. Ar measadh don mharbhnaidh thiar dá maireadh tuir fhear nOirghiall a buaidh do-bhéarainn dá thail do-ghéabhainn uaidh a urdhail. Ní marbhnaidh í gan fhachain; cú cnis Í Chuinn Chéadchathaigh tug fa fhonn n-easbhán nEamhna teasghrádh trom dá tighearna. Cuarta meince—mór an tsearc— dá iarraidh iar n-a imtheacht tug an cú croibhdhearg corcra fa bhrú bhfoinnlearg bhfochanta. Lé do cuartuigheadh na cnuic 's na tighe óil d' Ú Cormuic agus bruaigh na dtiormshroth dte 's gach uaimh fa fhionnLoch Éirne. Níor fhágaibh leaba 'n-ar luigh fa Loch Éirne gan iarraidh ná mín ná suidhe seilge do ghríbh Muighe mínDeirge. Fa dheoidh teasda—tuar déire— do chumhaidh a cneischéile; gá dú acht do-chuaidh as a cruth mar nach fuair an cú a caomthach. Teasda an chú-sa iar gcéibh na sgath; ní hamhlaidh d'uaislibh Teamhrach feasda im Bhóinn mbliochtchraobhaigh mBreagh; ní hiontaobhaidh glóir Gaoidheal. Ionann fáth bróin dóibh is dí Ábhartach cú fhir Éirne; fada iar gcraoibh Line gach lá; a fhine dá thaoibh teasdá. Teasda. Mág Aonghusa do dháil dhamh a chú 's a each 's a órbhrat a-tá craobh Céise dom chrádh; an fhéile dá thaobh teasdá. Ní dhiúltfadh Conn Maisdean mé um choin ná um bhrat ná um bhuairsbré; a-tá craobh Cruachan dom chrádh ar n-uabhar dá thaobh teasdá. Ní bás don té théid dá fhios flaitheas na n-óg 's na n-aingeal; mairidh Beadar iar n-a bhás acht gé theasda ní theasdá. Teasda.
