Tiar táinig tús na seanma Tiar táinig tús na seanma; gnáth dúil a ndiaigh oileamhna; críoch Mhumhan na saeadmhúr sídh bunadh na ccaeadghlún cciníl. Cá beag d'fhiadhnaise air sin imreasuin dá mhac Mílidh, ag roinn fhóid bhláthchoille Breagh don dámhchoinne óig fhaeinneadh. Tugsad go hÉirinn eidir fhilidh agus oirfididh, a slios Tuir bhratghloin Bhreoghain, tar muir n-atmhair n-ainbhtheanaigh. Onaoi dob ainm don fhior chiúil, Cior mac Cis ceann ar seiniúil; ní leanfam dá slonnadh sin, dá ollamh mearchlann Mílidh. Ordaighis Éibhear amhra crannchor fa a n-aos ealadhna ar mbeith d'Éireamhón ón fhior ar leith glaeimheadhón Gaoidheal. Do thaoibh Éibhir —gárbh fhearr caeim? tarla an t-oirfideach ainnsaein: re gnúis mbuig ngeilmhíolla ngloin fa neimhdhíogha an cuid crannchoir. Ríoghdhacht na seanma ó so lat ag leanmhuin luirg na ríomhac: atá ag seinshliocht Éibhir Fhinn eighriocht re a n-aeirigh inntinn. Dá mbeith fós nach raibh reimhe, atá an uairsi dh'áiridhe fraeamh an cheóil a muigh Mhumhan, sgeóil ar a bhfuil fíadhnughadh. Atá aniugh ag Nioclás Dall, ar cheart ar chumas n-adhbhann, mír curadh cheóil na Banbha, bunadh eóil na healadhna. Cumadóir na ccleas ndoilbhthe, gaduidhe na geamhoidhche, musgladh brón baoithchridhe ban, glór nach saoilfidhe a síothbhrugh. Adhbhar caomhnaidhe cumhadh, sás meanman do mhórughadh, siansa ón girre laoi leabhra, nach binne caoi Caeideamhna. Colloid rae caoine a sheanma na beathadhaigh bhrúideamhla, ag aeisdeacht mharbhchor a mhaer mbras, do anfadh aen re a amas. Líonmhaire 'ná an faer ag fás ar leath ó lámhuibh Nioclás, sreatha a ghaeag cceathbhraonach cciúin do ghealchaolach taead ttaighiúir. Mar dheilbh a ndiaigh a rionnta, ní fios d'aos aigeanta, saeis marbhghlan a mheóir rathmhair d'adhnadh an cheóil chuimhrighthi. Tiar.
