FEARGHAL ÓG MAC AN BHAIRD cct.

 Turnamh dóchais díoth muirne, muirn docar i ndíothainmne; lór do chládh uabhair tar ais is uamhain dál an dóchais. Sealg thorthach níor tuirmheadh dhí an chú cuirthear i neimhní; muna rabh anáir ar each ní gar a fhagháil uaibhreach. An treabhadh ar nac téid leas ní hé trá as taosga gheineas; gort gan fhál is é ar slighidh dá mbé slán ní saoilfidhir. Saidhbhreas díomhaoin do dhuine innile gan aoghaire; ní fhuil tarbha 'n-a dtairthibh abhla cuir nach cumhdaighthir. Gabháil fa chuirm go gcuirthir a hibhe ní horduighthir; bídh gríos an ghuail gan ghoradh an uair bhíos gan bheathoghadh. Baramhail damh-sa is dom dhán a ndubart—dia do chlaochládh; cnú fholam nó each gan srian neach nó domhan fa dhímhiadh. Ní théighim mar badh díor dham tar ollamh ná tar ánradh —sé 'n-a chréachtghoin im chroidhe— éantroigh re ré Rudhroidhe. Náir dhúinn—'s ní dúinn as ranáir— mo sgol más iad m'uachtaráin tre ghoimh míleadh Mhuighe Fhloinn gach duine ag síneadh seachoinn. Ós chionn éigeas fhear nUlad teacht san tuighnigh ollamhan ní thig díom, gidh dainimh dhún, sion im aighidh ag iompúdh. Do mheas éirghe amhlaidh soin os chionn airdríogh fhear ndomhain Poimp mearchalma fa mó seadh gér neamhtharbha dhó a dheireadh. Ag Séasar na siorthadh mbras, ag Poimp Máighe is ag Marcas do bhí an cruinne ó mhuir go muir; ní rí duine gan dúthaigh. Riasan dá áirsidh oile Marcas Cras ceann sochuidhe —iul re bhfaghar gach fádh fis— do ládh an talamh thairis. Fan treas rann don talmhain tais do éirigh ar n-éag Marcais fíoch an dá ursan oile; dursan críoch a gcéalmhoine. Poimp agus Séasar sluaighmhear do chuireadar combuaidhreadh i ngach leith don chruinne ché do bhreith an uile fhínné. An cath cathardha do chuir dá uaitne theanna an talaimh do b'é críochrún a gcagaidh dé ón fhíochrún do adhnadair. "Uch! gan mé" ar Poimp "ós chionn cháigh dom fhaicsin d'fhearaibh domhnáin" glóir na flatha fhuair umhla uair an chatha chathardha. Bheith uiríseal 'n-a dhiaidh sain gairid d'aimsir gur orduigh; do radadh fatha déar dhó a shéan catha do chlaochlódh. Mé an Poimp dá dtarla an tuisle, an t-Iarla is sé an Séasair-se, ar bhfearg rer-oile is é an cath gomadh hé ar gcroidhe an caomhthach. Mar Phoimp Maighe ag teacht san treas, bheith céim ós chionn na n-éigeas do bhí uair 's do aontaigh mé; claontair gach uaill dá háirde. Mar Phoimp a-rís d'aithle an áir, bheith íseal—anba an diombáigh— dar m'éig-se do ba lór linn, ór ar m'éigse ó nach aithnim. Ó tá an maidhm oruinn badh-éin aontuighim tre Ua saoirNéill beith fa oideadhaibh Craoi Chuinn; faoi ní hoideamhail m'urruim. Tuir fhuluing fhola Dálaigh ní fiu dá méin mórdhálaigh —ní hé an doigh nach dursan linn— a bhfuil d'osnadh im intinn. Náir dói-séin agus damh-sa a bhfuil d'anaoibh oram-sa ar dheoradhacht—dáil nar dhligh— i n-Eoghanacht Cláir Chaisil. Dá gcuireadh díoth toice treall ollamh flatha ar fud Éireann ní cóir dhó ar a dhán diomdha; dá mhó a thár dá thighearna. Do dhearbh sé seanfhocal cáigh —do léig an t-Iarla ar n-anáir uile fa lár as a los— "ní fádh duine 'n-a dhúthchas." Iarla Ó gConaill, slios re saoidh, ní fhuil fáth ag a anaoibh; im dhán níor dheargas duine do Chlár leargglas Laoghaire. Ar airdríoghaibh Inse Néill a ndearnadar do dhíthchéill ar maithe trá druim ar druim a-tá dáhe oruinn. Cuirm Éingrinde is an t-each geal, súil Eochaidh, ainnre Laighean, —ní théid mo sheise ríogh róm— mei-se dá dhíol 'n-a dhobrón. Shleagh na Con, 's an Chearc Bhoirche, flaitheas Banbha beannfhoirbhthe rug sé don dul-sa ar a ndíol an té as ursa don imshníomh. A-tá uabhar m'aicme féin ar chloinn Chonaill mheic mhóirNéill fa phosd ríoghshluaigh fola Floinn dá shíorbhuain uile asuinn. Groighe is táinte clann gConuill tús is earr an uraghuill —fa-ríor níor haltoigheadh liom— im ghortoirear ríogh Raoilionn. Ag íoc na muirne nach mé fhuair ó phór chaithreac claoinTé a-tá sé ag crádh mo chroidhe mar táim re ré Rudhroidhe. Buain a dhúthchais do dhuine ní breath ríogh do Rudhroidhe; is liom-sa a chogar ó chiort ionnsa m'obadh óm oidhreact. Go buan is fearr an fonn-sa; ní hé a-tá d'fheidhm oram-sa muirn mar shriobh tuile ag toigheacht ná cion duine ar deoroidheacht. Mac éachtach Aodha Í Dhomhnaill Ua Séamuis, tuir treasfhorlainn, mo rí go rabh ar mo shon; ná tí a thal ar mo thurnamh. Turnam.
