Tiar táinig tús na seanma Tiar táinig tús na seanma; gnáth dúil a ndiaigh oileamhna; críoch Mhumhan na séadmhúr sídh bunadh na ccéadghlún cciníl. Cá beag d'fhiadhnaise air sin imreasuin dá mhac Mílidh, ag roinn fhóid bhláthchoille Breagh don dámhchoinne óig fhéinneadh. 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 gléimheadhón Gaoidheal. Do thaoibh Éibhir —gárbh fhearr céim? tarla an t-oirfideach ainnséin: 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-éirigh inntinn. Dá mbeith fós nach raibh reimhe, atá an uairsi dh'áiridhe fréamh 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 Céideamhna. Colloid ré caoine a sheanma na beathadhaigh bhrúideamhla, ag éisdeacht mharbhchor a mhér mbras, do anfadh én re a amas. Líonmhaire 'ná an fér ag fás ar leath ó lámhuibh Nioclás, sreatha a ghéag cceathbhraonach cciúin do ghealchaolach téad ttaighiúir. Mar dheilbh a ndiaigh a rionnta, ní fios d'aos aigeanta, séis marbhghlan a mheóir rathmhair d'adhnadh an cheóil chuimhrighthi. Tiar.
