CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

All editorial introduction, translation, glossary, notes and indexes have been omitted. Editorial corrigenda are integrated into the electronic edition. Only the text of the Murphy's edition is retained, and for this electronic edition the variants cited by Murphy are not reproduced. A full citation of variants is likely in a future electronic edition.

Text has been checked and proof-read. All corrections and supplied text are tagged. Further checking is required.

The electronic text represents the edited text. Words are segmented in accordance with CELT practice, but this segmentation may not be yet complete.

Quotation marks are rendered q.

Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break or line-break, the page-break and line-break are marked after the completion of the hyphenated word.

div0 encloses the whole text; div1 is the poem. Typographical line-breaks in prose passages are not marked. Page-breaks of the printed text are marked.

There are no dates.

Names of persons (given names and surnames), groups (dynasties, tribes, peoples etc.), places are tagged. Numbers and dates are tagged.

& tāinic Crēdhi dār n-acallaim, & trī cāecait do mhnāibh uimpi. & do rāidh in flaith-fēinnidh rīa: Is dod thogha-sa & dod thochmharc thāncamar-ne, ar sē. Fīarfaigis an ingen cīa dhár áil a tochmharc. Do Chāel chētghuinech ūa Neamhnainn, do mac rīgh Laigen an-air. Do-chūalamar a scēla, ar an ingen, gengu facamur ē; & in bh-fuil aigi mu dhūan damsa? A-tā imorra, ar Cāel. & do ēirig & do ghabh a dhūan:

 Turus acam Día h-Aíne (gé dech, isam fíraíge) co tech Créide (nó sním súail) re h-ucht in t-sléibe an-airtúaid. A-tá i cinniud dam dul ann, co Créide i Cíchaib Anann, co rabar ann fo decraib cethra lá ocus leithshechtmain. Aíbinn in tech ina tá, itir fhira is maca is mná, itir druíd ocus áes céoil, itir dáilem is doirséoir, Itir gilla scuir nách sceinn ocus ronnaire re roinn: a-tá a commus sin uile ac Créide &fdot;inn &fdot;oltbuide. Bud aíbinn damsa 'na dún itir cholcaid ocus clúm; mad áil do Chréide (ro-clos) bud aíbinn dam mo thurus. Síthal aice i sil súg sub: as ro niged a blaí dub; dabach gline gan desca, copáin aice is caím-escra. A dath amar dath in aíl; colcaid etarru ocus aín; síta etarru is brat gorm; dergór etarru is glanchorn. A gríanán ac Loch Cuire d' arcat ocus d' ór buide; tuige druimnech gan dochma d' eitib donna is dergcorcra. Dá ursain úainide ad-cí; a comla ní dochraid h-í; arcat echta (cían ro-clos) in crann fuil 'na fordorus. Cathaír Chréide dot laim chlí, ba súarca sa súarca h-í; casair uirri d' ór Elpa fa chosaib a caím-leptha. Lepaid luchair na laíde fuil ós cinn na cathaíre do-rónad ac Tuile thair d' ór buide is do líc lógmair. Lepaid aile dot láim deis d'ór is d'arcat gan éislis, co pupaill co m-bricht buga co cáem⋅latuib créduma. In teglach a-tá 'na tig is dóib is aíbne ro chin: nídat glasa slima a m-bruit; at casa finna a forfuilt. Ro choitéltais fir gona cona táescaib trom&fdot;ola re h-énuib síde ac síanán ós borduib a glaingríanán. Madam buidech-sa don mnaí, do Chréide dá n-gairenn caí, mérait ní bas lía a laíde, mad dá n-díla a commaíne. Mad áil le h-ingin Cairbre Nídam-chuirfe ar cóir cairde, co n-apra féin rim i fus Is mo móirchen dot turus. Cét traiged i tig Créide ón chuirr go roich a chéile, is fiche traiged tomuis i leithet a degdoruis. A h-udnacht is a tuige d' eitib én n-gorm is m-buide; a h-urscar thair ac topar do glain is do charrmocal. Cethra h-úaitne im gach lepaid d' ór is d' arcat choimecair; gem glaine i cinn gach úaitne: nídat cenn an⋅úairce. Dabach ann do chrúan &fdot;latha i silenn súg súarc-bracha; aball ós cinn na daibche co n-imat a trom-thairthe. In úair líntar corn Créide do mid na dabcha déine, tuitit isin corn co cert na ceithra h-ubla i n-áen&fdot;echt. In t-í 'gá táit sin uile, itir thráig ocus tuile, ruc Créide a Tulcaib Trí m-Benn ed urchair di mnáib Éirenn. Laíd sunn cuice (ni crod cas) (ní grés luigthe co lúathbras), co Créide cruthaig i fus; buad luchair lé mo thurus. Is and sin ro &fdot;aīetar in lānamainsin ar feis leaptha & lāimhdhērgaigthi; & do bātur ann re secht laithib ag ōl & ac aībhnes.
