Brussels MS 5057-59, p. 50 Cid glic fri h-ailchi uara, cid saer ac imirt bhéla, cid binn a dord fri duana, do chuala as borb nat légha. Though one be cunning at cold blocks of stone, Though one be a master-wright at wielding the axe, Though sweet his voice in singing songs, I have heard he is dull who does not read. Ibidem, p.49 Cros Dé ocus Colmain Ela ro fitir feba ech, co na ro h-escarthar mé is na ro h-escarthar m'ech. The cross of God and of Colmán of Ela, Who knows the virtue of horses, That I may not be thrown, And that my horse may not be thrown. Brussels MS 5100-4 Macán Maire ingeine dom snádhadh ar gach n-galar, ar in tessaigh bhíos h-i c-cind, ar gach n-gábudh i t-talamh. A gabhail ind uisce occ indmat do lámh &ersir; do beiri mót' aigidh &ersir; mot' mhullach &ersir; no-t-aincenn ar cech n-olc. Dear son of Mary the maid, Save me from every trouble, From the heat that is in the head, From every danger on earth. To be sung in water when washing thy hands; put them about thy face and about thy crown, and it will save thee from every evil. Ibidem Corp slemain ocus taebh fota remhar, biaidh in colann acc lobhudh, is an t-anam acc demon. A sleek body And a side long and stout— Anon the body rots, And the Devil gets the soul.
