AONGHUS (MAC CEARBHAILL BHUIDE Ó DÁLAIGH cct.

 Tomhus mhúir Chruachna i gCluain Fraoich fa sduaidh—nocha sduaidh fa mhúith— múr na sgiath mbeannbhladhach mbláith ráith na gcliath ndealbhdharach ndlúith. Tomhus mhúir Theamhra ó Lios Fhloinn ó chúil chearna go a slios slim caithir bhláith charmhoguil chruinn mar ráith gCuinn abhradhduibh fhinn. Tomhus mhúir Oiligh ghlais ghloin i bfroighidh úir chais an chluidh; samhail daighNéill Ghlúnduibh ghil san tigh mhúraigh chlaidhréidh chuir. Tomhus mhúir Chaisil fa a chois no an dúin ghlais-sin go n-a gheis ag fior fhuilt chrunnfhailghigh chais go mbais Cuirc dhubhmailghigh dheis. Níor ghabh Meadhbh ná Corc ná Conn port ar nar shealbh port na bpeall; do bhalla chaomh nó do chrunn níor chum saor halla budh fhearr. Treabh as áille dar fhéagh súil a sgáile gheal re a béal biaidh; nocha meisde ní dá néimh gan léim eisde dhí dá diaigh. Sreath cláraigh mhín dualaigh dhlúith 'n-a sduadhaibh do-chím mun gcruaich; sliocht uird riondaidhe mun ráith; bláith sliombuidhe a buird 's a bruaich. Mar badh meirge slíogdha a snuadh nó mar dhíolda as deirge clár; mín ón chearamh gach crann caol sleamhan a taobh thall ón tál. A hasnach glan donn le dlús níor ghabh tonn lasrach dá luas; cá seadh teine ar a tí thíos muna thí gríos nimhe a-nuas. Suairc an daingean anma d'Aodh nachar mhainnear madhma riamh; ní bhí san léibheann chas chlár glas lámh nó géibheann ar ghiall. Fear ga tealgadh gion gur thearc nochar deargadh cneadh 'n-a curp; sgeinnidh colg sleighe dá sliocht briocht neimhe na n-ord 'n-a hucht. Mar chathraigh nGreabháin ar ghráin nac lamhthair meadháil a múir; tréigthear brath na dtreabh re a taoibh mar ba clach aoil gach teagh túir. Ná braitheadh bean go bráth í, an ráth gheal ler caitheadh cré dá lár do lingeadh an Traoi do mhnaoi do cinneadh d'ágh é. Sleagh tre dhruim fir go lár lás ór thil a clár mar do- chuas; maol na gualann budh toll thíos; ón chronn bhíos nuabharr a-nuas. Dá dteagmhadh Lugh Banbha Briain nó an Daghdha do dhul dá dréim mná an táibhlidh mun ba tearc lóin gan neart slóigh láinmhir dá léim. Caithir chuanna ceithre mbeann sduagha do-gheibhthe re Goll brugh slatac fuinneogach fionn bratach sliom duilleogach donn. Sduadh bhreac dhealbhach um an ndún dar leat mar badh ceannrach caomh iomdhorus um an dteach i dtám sreath clár as tiormsholus taobh. Comhla sholus dá huaim d'ord ris an ndorus nar bhuail bard; do fuaigheadh cearcall clár ndearg gan leathtrom learg d'fhán nó d'ard. Caithir fhionn as airde múr ós a cionn is gairge an ghrian; goirmlionn um an lios do ládh crios clár gcoimshliom ós chrios criad. I gcathraigh Aodha an airm nua ar ngairm gacha dhaonna dhó giolla deaghbhruit duinn gach dia níor lia um sheanMhuic Truim Dhá Thó. Niamh gach dhornchair bhláith san bhrugh níor dhorchaigh riamh an ráith gheal; gabhthar le trilsibh bróg mban an ród glan tirm-sin san teagh. Fearb gaoithe ní ghéabha greim, ní bhéara dlaoithe dá druim don chúirt chomhlaigh easnaigh fhinn go sging chonnlaigh theasbhaigh thruim. Teagh ríogh Chruachan cuma a luadh is nach uathadh urra um Aodh dá ghlaislinn fhada go n-ór fairrsing an sódh troda a thaobh. Teach nach airde finnteach Floinn i n-a ghairde slinnteach soinn; níor léig Aodh an eatail fhinn, ní chlaon rinn deataigh dá druim. Teach laoch ar nach luigheann smál tre nach cuireann gaoth a ghlór a froigh mhíolla an doire dhiagh ní gloine niamh fhíona a hór. Mar threabhradh ar thaobhaibh eang deallradh caolaigh ós a cionn; an darbh daol thríthe níor tholl gach drong chaol don fhíthe fhionn. Luaidheam cúilteagh na gclár ngorm tre n-a smál ní dúintear dealbh; teach fionn is fraoch ar a arm is balbh gaoth ós chionn a chearn. Faiceam tomhus na gcleath gcorr, na sreath solus, na sreath sliom, sreath do chaolach bhán go a barr clár ball gcraobhach ós a cionn. Teach Í Chonchobhair Chnuic Luain go lonchoraibh ar chruit chaoin, go gcloich buabhaill, go mbuilg sréin tuaraim do néimh a chuilg chaoil. Títhe láintreabhradh ós lionn do tráichtdealbhadh d'fhíthe fhionn; do sduaighdhírgheadh an teach thall go mbarr cleath snuaidhmhíngheal sliom. A díol innigh fúithe fríoth d'ingir gomadh dlúithe an sgiath saor ga treabradh is ga táth re dealbhadh snáth gcaol na gcliath. An bhruidhean nach cuirre cnoc do tuigheadh nach luime leac; ní léir san chur claochládh slat aonchlár dar lat an brugh breac. Sreath cúpladh gcorcra ós a cionn ar dtochta búcladh fa a barr; gréas gach gallghabhla ní gearr; allmhurdha leam gléas na nGall. Dá chomhlaidh chrios n-amhlach n-ard —tarbhach a slios ní slios borb— mar chaoin aighthe cúpa ó cheard gach learg dhlúthta d'aithle a hord. Fuair a caoilfhiodh a sháith shaoir ar n-a dhaoineadh san ráith réidh, a buird 'n-a n-áitibh ga n-uaim mar táithtir truaill cuilg re céir. Mar chaoin mbuabhall as bhreac fiodh breac nuabharr gach taoibh don teagh; fighe na coirrmhéise a cur brugh bile goirmdhéise is geal. Gurab buan an teach mar tá gach neach ag a luagh ar ló dá fhoghail gidh cuin do-chiu liu don choraidh do dhluigh dhó. Pailís bhríoghmhar as bhláith brugh, ráith na ríoghradh, ráith na sgol, Muimhnigh Ulaidh fa bharr Breagh fear gann sa tulaigh níor thomh. Tomhus.
