[Answers XV., and is (cf. v. 8) subsequent to XIII., XIV.]

1. No condemnation of me is your judgment O Aodh ! You

have only shown your bias ! You have let your feelings attack me. You are no judge but a mere disputer.

2. A proof that my argument is not worse 1 than Torna's, is

that you shall not find in mine the unfairness I found in his, nor anything like it.2

3. Woe 3 rather to him who is guilty of stirring up strife among

them ! for injustice in word or deed is what kindles strife.

4. The beginning of injustice in deed, the slaying of Eibhear is

mentioned by you ; the beginning of injustice in word Niall son of Eochaidh has the guilt of it.

5. That every man should learn his own rights or know his

ancestor's good deeds is no reason why the two races owning Eire should attack each other ! 4

6. Though their ancestors before them fought for sea-girt Eire

the nobles shall not fight if I can help it without knowing why.

7. Let the nobles remain at peace till we tell them their history.

Their sharp spears and blue blades are not the arms to settle history.

8. Since the language of your poem follows that of the friar 5 I

must confront it with some of my answer to the friar.6

9. That I spoke truly and justly and gave authorities to defend

me was not a good proof that Conn's race frightened me into silence ! 7

10. It is not those who have gone to the East who were learned

in these matters,8 but you, those who remain behind and profess learning !

11. You have now full leave to answer me without fear or fright,

but you must not refute except where truth be perverted !

12. A strange reason for your shame ! My learned impartial

argument for Mumha, which you cannot refute !

13. Truth never fared the worse as is clear to the people who

loved God for the fewness of those who utter it, or the number of its opponents.9

14. I will not shrink from stating the truth to refute your loquacity,

and to set right the successive errors you din into people's ears.

15. No one on earth should challenge all our books.1 What

one should do is to refute falsehood if one knew how !

16. Better for a man to refute the lies in them and to defend the

truth than to be silent and to let truth and falsehood be confused.

17. Ignorance made you say there is perverted history in my

poem. 2 I defy any of you, high or low, to prove it against me !

18. I have indeed read those books more than suits you ! A

proof of my reading is that I sift wheat from tares.

19. I choose between the books where occur two opposite things

each backed by proofs, or anything uncertain or hazy.

20. You probably have not read all those books.3 A mere empty

display is some of those which your enumeration puts among them !

21. I defy you with your many books and saints to refute my

answer to Niall and Core !

22. All the big-talk in the world can not belie the saints. You

cannot quote where or by whom their opinion was given.4

23. To my mind, Aodh, the shameful thing is to claim many

witnesses for one's side when none of the evidence agrees with one on the case coming to be proved !

24. I do not believe that 5 very much, any more than the rest of

your words. The merited displeasure of both North and South I will bring on you.

25. Let the anger of Conn's race at my severe answer fall on you

owing to your forcing that answer from me ! Not against me shall the annoyance at it be directed !

26. As for Oilill's race, their love of me shall be the greater for my

defence of their claims, and my telling of their great deeds which you in hostility to them try to belittle.

27. Also, I do not believe in the pleasure you say the North feels

at my words.6 They do not feel sure of winning a victory beyond their power nor are they certain to win it !

28. I am not defeated by threats. I do not start when attacked

with weapons in which I am more skilled than my opponent.7

29. If you are certain, as you say, of defeating me with words, it

would be I think an unwise exchange to put your body in danger !

30. To settle history by the sword is not good sense for a man

with a tongue ! It looks probable from this that you no longer trust in your arguments !

3i. Produce * those books if you have them, for on them rests mv confidence ! They are the weapons for our contest.

32. As for your inherited bent for heroic deeds, Aodh,2 no one

could surpass in wielding the lance, Murchadh, Eoghan, Lugh Lagha !

33. As for the confidence in one's prowess 3 which one derives

from one's race, you should not have derived it from your own qualities ! The well whence came the stream, would not have been an empty source of confidence ! (?)

34. Too hastily in your bluster do you foolishly boast of the

terrible things to be done to us (which you have not yet done !) and of the insult to be inflicted on us (which shall never be in your power to inflict !)

35. Had it been a hand-to-hand fight between Eoghan and

blameless Conn, Conn would have never, as long as he lived, tried to get a drop of Eoghan 's blood or his portion of Eire ! 4

36. Except that Conn had his whole host with him, Conn and

Goll and Conall would not have escaped from Eoghan's single hand even though no weapon was in it ! 6

37. Those are the bitter words 7 which make 8 me, though loath,

use like ones in answer !

38. If you do all that, I too am capable to doing deeds to match

them ! Whoever would not like that should lay the blame for it on you !

39. Remember that that treatment 9 is what famous Eibhear's

sons inflicted on Eireamhon's three sons,10 though it was a pity to inflict it on that noble stock.

40. It is this same treatment which Conmhaol's hand inflicted on

Follach. 1X Eochaidh Faobhar inflicted it too what a bitter wounding! on Smiorghall.12

41. The same fate in battle you should not have made me recall

it ! did Eireamhon's grandson Eitrial receive from the hand of conquering Conmhaol.13

42. Eochaidh Mumho, stately as a wave, inflicted on Fiacha

Labhruinne,14 your splendid king of Eire, that same fate.

43. The same fate stern judgment ! did the prince Eanna

Airgtheach then inflict on the king called Aonghus Olmhuchaidh.15

44. The same fate deed of vengeance !— did our Roitheachtaigh

inflict following precedent on your fair Siorna.16

45. Your king of Eire you know it Giallchaidh son of Oilill

Olchaoin get the same fate a far known tale ! from Art Imleach.1

46. Your other king, your greatest boast, called Nuadha Fionn

Fail got a like fate from Art Imleach's son, Breisrigh.2

47. I could say much more but I insist not. I like not that your

words force me to speak of such things.

48. From you in the North come the rough words that set folk

against each other. I must answer them.

49. You can not find in your books the name of any of Eibhear's

race who swore that oath to forego their ancestral rights.

50. An example that there were those who took no such oath is

Meilge, Iughoine's grandson. A king of Eibhear's race took from him his life and the kingship of Eire too ! 3

51. There ruled after him of his stock, a king every man of them

a splendid race 4 for six generations without any dispute as to that oath, and without any leave of Iughoine's race.5

52. Hence all must see it cannot be true that Eibhear's race bowed

before Iughoine's in Eire.

53. The king who would share half his possession of the land

with some rival prince, or would not check the foreigner's unjust pretensions was no fit heir of Iughoine ! 6

54. Your princes who acted thus were no fit heirs of Iughoine !

If you say none such existed, I will tell you their names.

55. The king you mention God preserve him ! far be it from me

to yield him up to you ! He is of the race of Maine Leamhna,7 Core's son, Alba's famous Leamnach.8

56. To us completely, and without any connection with you,

belongs his stock on his father's 9 side unless you trace his line on the female side, and near to us was his mother too. 10

57. A pity you remember not what I told Lughaidh of Fiachaidh

58. Not to Iughoine's race now belong the rulers of some of those

lands which you mention in your desire to pile up territories to your account.12

59. The names of the Deise, Musgraidhe and Baisgnigh 13 are all

that now remain of their affinity with Iughoine's race.

60. True, in other days, the stock you trace from Iughoine inhabited

those lands, getting them from Caiseal on a heavy rent !

61. Lest some may not believe me I will tell you that rent written

in the books.14

62. Rent of Deise three hundred and fifty cloaks, three hundred

and fifty oxen, three hundred and fifty heavy swine, three hundred and fifty milch cows.

63. Rent of Baisgnigh, this is its amount thrice fifty of each, bullocks,

oxen, fat spotted swine l and teeming cows.

64. Three hundred cows, three hundred strong oxen, three hundred

cloaks are the rent in full of Muscraidhe of West Deas- Mhumha 2 to the king of gentle fair Caiseal.

65. Sixty milch-cows, sixty cloaks, sixty swine, sixty bullocks is the

rent of the king of many-hosted Caiseal from Muscraidhe Orbhuidhe.3

66. Beeves, cloaks, milch-cows, three hundred of each a goodly

number three hundred and fifty hogs too is the rent of East Musgraidhe.

67. My northern friend who boastest of districts named after you,

to hold lands on rent like that is no cause, I think, for boasting !

68. There belonged to us in the North lands similarly called after

us, Cuircne, perfect Dealbhna, Gailenga, Luigne Ciannachta !

69. Before ever Laoghaire's race and Cobhthach Caol's broke the

bond of their kinship 4 Eibhear's descendants took from them the rights and sway of their fathers ! 70= More kings came of the South, greater the benefits we must remember this—they conferred in their day, and less evil afflicted Eire !

71. The Laighin did not unaided crush the strength of the great-

hearted Muimhnigh.5 To crush them was an effort beyond the strength of Conn's race !

72. I liked not your bringing in, in worldly matters, a comparison

between saints.6 No man on the fair-surfaced earth knows which of them is highest in Heaven.

73. Except for the fame of great Ard-Macha in the North, owing

to Patrick's going there first, see if compared to Caiseal there be any church which one could call " capital." 7

74. If your poets " now and of old " are the authority for your

verses, a great blow to their repute for lore is the ignorance you show !

75. In all I have said in due order about the two Halves, Aodh,

my point was to show they were not equal halves.8

76. I deny and will give authority for the denial what you say

with a show of learning.9 I will prove the division lasted more than a year.

77. Eire was shared with us in the third year of Conn's reign.

The morning attack of Magh Leana was fifteen years after. j8. Though you may find something against that in }'our account,

we should believe history since it is its duty to preserve true

knowledge.

79. You can get from me no barren piece of knowledge the year

of Christ at the time of the sharing, and the year of the morning-attack, in a document clear and reputable.

80. Whatever be the cause for which Conn's messengers merited

death, the}^ did not on arriving x warn Eoghan of the battle to take place in the morning.2

81. Thus thick-tressed 3 Conn's attack on that chief of heroes,

Eoghan, asleep and unprepared should not be called a battle.

82. I never sought to revile Conn's noble-hearted race,* but it is

fair argument to refute the unfairness in the language of you all.

83. Whatever reviling results from mv answer to you, you are

guilty of touching on the subject. Not willingly do I refer to it.

84. Though you are close akin to them 5 it is no shame for the

Muimhnigh not to have you as their counsellor 6 after all your foolish talk !

85. Not to me must the lie 7 be given, but to all of you who can

not test your words by a fundamental principle, and that principle would be the defence of truth \ (?)

86. I assert nothing I must not except according to clear books.

I have not, like you, on my lips authors easy to refute.

87. If you would have me silent, the way to do it is to cease your

big words of small wisdom, arguing against all right.

88. Lughaidh and Torna owing to their depth of wisdom 8 were

loath to interfere except in a slight way. You the shallow part of the stream give forth loud sound !

89. Torna and Lughaidh liked not their task of supporting an

unjust cause. Indifferent to justice or injustice are you, the new set that come forward !

90. It is not owing to your father's mother and Lughaidh's 9 that

the honour of the South is secure. It is not your kinship* which protects the south !

91. It is good sense for a man to listen to anything of which he has

no deep knowledge ! 1,J Till one knows what is right one can not know what is wrong !

92. If I seek to examine into the superiority which all adjudge to

a certain king over his contemporaries I do not deny it?- existence.

93- Conmhaol has such a superiority over Follach your ancestor ; 1 and his son Eochaidh over your Seanbhoth 2 and your Smiorghall.3

94. Eanna Airgtheach had, if you examine it carefully, a great

superiority over your ancestor Maon mac Aonghusa.4

95. Roitheachtaigh and Feidhlim thus surpassed in their day.

though you relish not the mention of it your ancestor Oilill 01chaoin.s ,

96. Our Seadna likewise surpassed (why must I mention it ?) your

ancestor Aodhan.6

97. Thus, Aodh, no wonder that all our kings were in every way

superior to all of their day in Eire !

98. As to Tuathal I have already given a true fitting answer.7

Since you and Lughaidh plead the same cause, the same answer is due to you.

99. As for your boasting about Conaire and Conn,8 as you have

both done one after the other, you have boasted enough of them, you and Lughaidh !

100. Urge your grand boasts on silly folk ! I know the list of the

host, their death and births !

10 1. If an Eanna Airgtheach9 who used to bestow silver shields,

or if any of those whom I shall now mention were yours, you would probably have mentioned them !

102. Tell the nobles of the Gaoidhil the deeds of those who in their

day brought honour or profit to Eire, since you will keep boasting of them.

103. Muineamhon of the golden collars,10 Alldeargoid of the golden

rings,11 who brought credit to their stock, or the charioteer 1S Roitheachtaigh !

104. Their deeds would be worth boasting of, or those of the princely

happy Breisrigh who fought so often the Fomoraigh driving them over the sea's bosom,

105. or Cas who preserved the legal cases, 13 the lore of each race, 14 or

the engager of mercenaries 15 Seadna who first gave wages to troops.

106. Or Eoghan who relieved famine, or Brian who banished

hardship, let us hear of deeds like theirs done by. the race you boast of !

107. I omit the story of the cauldron's hanger,16 but I say that it

was owing to the decision of Fiachaidh son of Eoghan that Cormac's hostages were yielded to him.

io8. Cormac is no model * except in the few things you mention

for Banba's nobles ! His dishonourable character could be

discovered in all the rest of his deeds. 109. These who read of the curing of Lugh and Tadhg mac Cein

by O Cuinn after Crionna 2 will see the truth of what I say. no. A proof to all men that I am right you can get if you read the

conversation of Fitheal and Cormac.3 in. All the lore that came from his wisdom-house was silly lore.

No mark of a model prince his exceeding injustice to

Mumha(?).4

112. After examining the authenticity of the untrue things I have

read I do not make arguments out of them it is a good principle of mine.

113. I will not shirk 5 the poem of Cionnaoth O hArtagain.6 As it

is your authority it is also sufficient to refute you.

114. If you count not Cairbre the son of the king of Fal there was

none in your Eastern palace as good as Fiachaidh ! 7

115. Greater praise (than Cuan gave Cormac) did a poet 8 in your

own day give one of Niall's race. Thus you need not wonder at a poet praising Cormac.9

116. Fiachaidh drove him a long rout from Glaire10 to Sliabh

Fuaid. He cast off your unjust sway and ruled his land in peace.

117. Loudly as your bold voice declares11 that it (Fiachaidh's victory)

is not in the Psalter of Caiseal, there might easily be found things in that book without your knowledge !

118. You count as great things in a king only cattle-prey, plunder,

the rousing of battle.13 You esteem not the good that dis- tinguishes the bad prince from the good.

119. It is the way with the bad prince to rout and be routed in turn.

He is defeated and then defeats someone. His rule is not peaceful and quiet.

120. The good prince is thought too strong to touch.13 He provokes1*

no one unjustly. Such was the good rule of his land by Fiachaidh.

121. As your Cormac began the wizardry practised there the worse

is his glory. He (Fiachaidh) conquered his attack and his wizardry too.15

122. Criomhthann a king of Eibhear's race went East oversea 1

before Niall and brought back to his palace wealth, captives, victory-spoils.

123. Only in imitation of glorious Criomhthann did Niall and Dathi

go to the East, and they came not back alive ! The expeditions of the three of them ended differently !

124. Had Criomthann not died of poison given him by the wife of

Niall's father,2 Niall would not have been heard of here or in the East among those who came into power ! 3 (?)

125. Why do you mention noble Eoghan and Conall ? 4 How did

they surpass the South ? Look at their times and periods.

126. Our sturdy race of Tal conferred also those many benefits ! 5

It is the harder for you to rival us owing to the benefits your kings did not confer on Eire !

127. There was a lord of the Danars' host over every district,

a fleet of them off every port, a steward over every " baile," an abbot over every church, until the Dal gCais drove them from Eire.

128. The facts I have given you concern those before Torna and

Niall. To speak of those alive to-day is not the answer due to me.

129. Expecting me to give you a weighty answer, you mention

the free races of Conn's stock.6 If any bitter word result I meant not to use it.

130. As history is the knowledge of ancestors, to recall it is my duty,

and not by comparing the living, to urge them to strife.

131. I take no pleasure in counting the races of those living of the

stock of Mile's two sons lest trouble ensue.

132. The sages of Feidhlim's Land know well Eibhear's stock in Eire.

As they are traced over the sea they have not been forgotten in Alba !

133. I like that treasure-rich Conn's race be spoken of ever so highly,

provided it be not meant as reproach to Eibhear's race !

134. The showers whence you name Niall 7 I think your knowledge

of them is disgraceful are not the ones he got,8 and they did not fall in Niall's reign !

135. The showers, as you describe them, did not fall on every fort,

but a shower of blood and one of honey on Fothain and Gleann Laighean.9

13Ó. I say, too, that the reigns of six of your kings were completed it is well known between the falling of the showers and Niall's coming to the kingship.

137. The origin of this name " Niall Frosach " is that Niall was

born in the night these showers fell. Hence he was called from them.

138. There was an eclipse of the moon in its fifteenth day 1 think

over it and examine it at the time of the showers. Did Niall get that too asa" benefit " ?

139. Thus, you must boast very modestly of Niall's showers ! Not

as you say was he named after them.

140. A great author of yours (Lughaidh) in the North have I been

listening to at a long distance for the past year. Like him is the one who says " The wounding made by the staff in Eoghan's foot " í 2 (?)

141. I pity him who in dispute has to trust to hazy authors who

do not get at the root of the case !

142. Know that your famous Aonghus 3 took stipend of Brian's

son Murchadh.4 He was not Murchadh's equal as warrior, as Maolsheachluinn was not Brian's.

143. Though it might be hard to surpass 5 Guaire in the giving of

treasures, you shall not find on your side generosity like that of Eochaidh's 6 race.

144. As you regard with kindly mind your own ancestor Eigneachan 7

why not too spare a glance for Ceallachan of Caiseal ?

145. There is never seen by you any good in any man 8 except in

some of your ancestors. Take care lest your vision be distorted !

146. If a historian said,9 as you, that we had only twenty-eight

kings I would make him retract it !

147. As for my mention of twenty-seven you are not to conclude

that I could not increase that number. You do not see my point in mentioning it.

148. I think that if on that point you read my answer to Lughaidh

and the friar, you will see that I have said 10 enough about your kings !

149. As "Eire ogh" X1 is the authority you quote, there are strong

proofs against it in Gaedhealg and Latin.

150. I have more and far better evidence with which I proceed

to refute it.

151. Other kings besides those (twenty-eight) held Eire after the

coming of the Faith according to evidence of good authors which you could not deny.

152. If anyone knows not of the kings I mentioned he can get their

dates and names in my answer to Lughaidh.1

153. Earlier were my Eochaidh 2 my Arts 3 my Feilim 4 as kings

of Eire than yours 5 (of the same name). This isle was certainly not called rather after your set !

154. To disprove what you say though the case is not worth

arguing " Brian's Banba " " Eibhear's Isle " are names taken from our kings.

155. Poets give such names to suit the space 6 of their metre. There-

fore the weaker are such arguments to prove claims to a land !

156. According to the custom of the profession, Aodh as we both

belong to it I could, if I wished, call Eire " Land of Aodh " !

157. That is a great mistake,7 Aodh as is usually the case when

one perverts history. Solomon's Temple was not built in the third age of the dark world.8

158. Your bygone kings of Mali's race divided up Banba more

than did Brian.9 Not in his reign was she dishonoured !

159. Mogh's race was never expelled by you the race of poet-loving

Conn.10 Whenever they did not hold the whole land they at least held Mumha their own country.

160. King of smooth-forted Mumha was Oilill Olum, Mogh's son.

King after him was his son, his grandson, his great grandson, and his great great grandson !

161. And so of his seed one after the other till Criomhthann came

and Brian, some of them ruling fair-plained Mumha, others most of Eire.

162. When Criomhthann came, and Brian, and then Toirdhealbhach,

and prosperous Muircheartach all Eire was theirs.

163. So it is plain falsehood n that for four hundred and eighty

years Mogh's race was banished by you, Conn's race.

164. Nay, you and your joyous Cormac were driven from the

palace of Teamhair ! Had we not helped you, you would have had no more to do with Eire !

165. Owing to our kinship with you through Conn's daughter12 we

helped you a brave exploit,13 after fighting three battles for you where the three kings of the Ulltaigh fell.14

167. If you had anything fresh to say, why did you not put it - in

your poem, instead of the arguments Lughaidh and the friar had already used ?

168. Address your threats to the North,3 if they will be taken

seriously there ! Here they have no force, the loud voice of the shallow stream !

I. 0 Aodh Og of the slender steeds, you must not 1 pity you use exaggerations, for you 2 do not impress Clann Tail ! ( ?)

2. It beseems not a warrior going into fight to say that " he would

kill a man at every ford." 3 You should first have gone, into the fight before challenging the world.

3. It is not, I think, good sense of you, now that you have passed

two-thirds of your life, to say that you would kill any man to the south of the sun.4

4. To press up 5 on the hedge 6 of spears was the practice of Eibhear

Fionn's race. Clumsy shooting from afar was your fashion in Leath Cuinn.

5. I and not I alone shall undertake fairly to bring safe my 7

heart's blood from thy blue blade and suffer no harm from your anger.

6. The spear in which you so trust will bring on you punishment

for your angry words, and not on you alone but on all of you of the North who come with it.

7. If I had not regard for Conn's daughter,8 and the daughter of

0' Brian 9 too, Leath Cuinn would not relish my words I shall say no more about a charter !

8. If you think my words severe the blame of it be on yourself I

Let all who read the poems of us both judge 10 of the case made by each of us.

[This poem was at first written anonymously (cf . XXI. i) . B5 has heading " Ag fo ah x>Án t>o cÁmij a -ocuai-ó j^ah Ainni Aom Fjnr cun Cai-oj UIac X)Ái^e." As one would infer from vv. 1 1-13, that no Northern had yet helped Lughaidh this poem (as well as XXI. which answers it) should probably be placed after XII.]

1. Woe to the man to whom a relative is creditor, so that he has to

take one side of a dispute. One should crush one's partiality if one wishes to defend the truth.

2. If a man lets terrible is his predicament his friend's cause

be defeated, it is natural1 to condemn his action, since he will be charged with weakness.

3. Yet he runs the risk terrible is his strait that his cause will

not be supported unless he answer, as he is bound, without love or fear of any man.

4. In short, whether a man uses in dispute his gifts 2 whether of

poor knowledge or of perfect knowledge, the proper method for the good disputant is to be reproachless in defence of truth (?).

5. There has arisen it is a great disgrace a dispute between

two men, a part of Mumha of Eibhear Fionn, and Lughaidh O Cleirigh. To them do my words refer.

6. In a word, Tadhg Mac Daire assigned the superiority to Mogh's

great Half rather than to the battle- lion stock of Conn's race. Is not that a sore insult to us ! 3

7. To revile Conn's race he invented a fabulous history in a point-

less poem without reference to facts -a history he got in no poem or book.

8. For a long time past, it seems, the proud race of Conn Cead-

chathach the impetuous princes of Art's steading are troubled 4 by what he said !

9. Lughaidh in the West sent to the princes of Mnmha of Mac

Niadh an answer written according to the school (traditions) , and adorned with learning and skill.

10. The poet (Lughaidh) refuted and not unfairly the sage of

Tal's race. He inflicted no bitter reproach on Tadhg and yet he refuted his contention.

11. The princes of the Three Fair Ones' Land 5 thought that the

master of the schools of the bright Fort 6 of the Breagha made not his best effort, and is led astray by his kinship. 7

12. Though he could have reviled Tadhg, he felt owing to his

kinship that it would be a shame to say all that might have been said, or to speak any word to cause confusion.

13. I am sorry there did not meet Tadhg one without care for

kinship, who would have wished to destroy him. That is the point of mv poem !

[Answers XX.].

1. O thou who speakest the lay, I am the Tadhg whom thou art

reviling. My calling I hide not under cover, I put my name to what I write.1

2. That the cheek of everyone who attacks me should be attacked 2

was not my wish, but owing to unjust attacks on me they are likely 3 to be made one red flame. 4

3. Your speech I hold not to be fitting from one in the name of

learning, —rough words and deceit 5 with them, that you might not follow 6 in the track of true history.

4. What you adduce as argument- except indeed the knowledge

which Lugaidh gave proof of is a disgrace to you people coming forward without any answer of any weight or effect.

5. Tell me, my friend, which of my statements, to whomsoever

they be addressed,7 do you challenge ? Is it all of them or some one of them ?

6. As to the facts I bring forward, accept them or reject them. I

ought not to have been abused for stating them. I defy you to refute them.

7. Here is a summary of the facts in my poem (w hich is not lying

nor foolish). I advance without an}/ concealment of facts from you or for myself, as they are all in some song or book. 8

8. I defy anyone to deny that Eibhear, Eireamhon's elder brother

to deny it would be foolish bragging did not get the land from his younger brother.

9. In the old books of the ancients there is found the name Hibernia,

derived from Eibhear. Let him who would challenge me rub it out from the books !

10. That Mac Coill was killed by Eibhear Fionn (who found him

ruling in Eire) fighting for the land of Eibhear of the Ships, I defy anyone to deny it.

11. I defy anyone to deny this either, that the princes of the seed t of valorous Eibhear, the fair young troop of warriors, were

no usurpers of the soil of Eire.

12. I have documents in Eire to prove it all, all their kings I

mentioned and all their great deeds. I advance to defend it all.

13. As for the evil deeds which I mentioned 9 as being committed

by a king of Eire (Cormac) by way of an answer to you, he who will deny them shall find the story of them in documents.

14. Though it be harsh to say to you, I say it is folly for anyone

to assert "it is not stated in lay or book that Fiacha got submission from Cormac." 10

15- Clearly the truth is that not an even half (but more) of Eire's soil is the part which white-roaded Eiscir Riada shares with us.

16. If the true heir to a race be the stock of the elder brother swift

Mile's race can show no higher stock than that of Eibhear.

17. That it was not the Fian which by itself won Gabhra I shall

speak no further of it -but rather the force of the Kings of soft-grassed 1 Mumha, there is truthful2 writing to witness to us.

18. As you will come disputing with me I have given you a summary

of my first poem. See how much of it you will deny or what challenges you offer me.

19. I am no kinsman or friend of yours, do not blame Lughaidh

on that score.3 Refute these facts of mine, or else your unfairness disgraces your profession.

20. Disclose your name and your face. Defend your cause with

knowledge, or else be covered with shame and humiliation owing to your contentious 4 poor poem.

21. Not according to the sage's teaching have you composed 5 your

lying ignorant poem. It is easy for anyone to see your ignorance in your stupid foolish argumentation.

22. To cure it take from my language a herb, one of my rough words.

The cure for a pain is another pain,6 the pain caused by my wounding words.

23. I will stop now, saying onlv a few words to finish the discussion

by way of a defence of what has been said in support 7 of my cause. 24 It will be hard to answer me if history and documents alone are to be evidence. As that is my object, not a word of what I say do I advance without evidence.

[The position of this poem is hard to fix. O'Curry, describing the MSS., sneaks of it as " written by O Cainte against A. McAodhagain in defence of Tadhg." I do not see its appositeness as an answer to Anluan's poem (XXV.) . It seems to me to suit better as an answer to XX. or to XVI. Vv. 3, 5 would seem to imply that the poet who is being answered had (1) gone into the arguments of the case, and (2) had based himself onLughaidh's arguments. This would be true in the case of XVI., but not in the case of XXV.].

1. Look ! Poet ! an adequate x reply to thy satire is close upon

thee, and the fierceness of every host too. Thy words shall not go unpunished.

2. Let us see you ! Come forth ! Break open your bubble of

wondrous knowledge ! Be a good disputer ! 2 Put not your excitement aside ! 3 Attack the words of all the sages !

3. Say something out of your own head from the bottommost

depths of your ocean of lore about foray or peace 4 or fight, without referring it to Lughaidh.

4. Challenge with deep sounding words the lasting character of

our prosperity and everything from which an escape is got (by you) according to your bias. (?)

5. If you have no authority for your inaccurate speech it is vain

for you to try to lessen its faulty character. You are only an " oinmhid." 5

6. If you really hold what you have said, then if you can

make your knowledge solid, rouse up your fierceness, and answer my words.

7. Why did you satirise causelessly the keen marvellous poet for

proving the proper division of Eire, for exalting the race of Eibhear ?

8. No cause of shame on you was what he said of Conmhaol's

race. Seeing that it is owing to them 6 that we shall rule Art's steading we had the right to say even more than he did.

9. We have writings from the hands of saints, and poems of great

value as witnesses, point by point, for it, and the secrets of the series of our historical events.

10. If you challenge us with lies it is hard to gainsay my word

I see the rolls and (the story of) the division lasting to-day indeed 6 beyond all mistake. 7

11. Since to-day the number is lowest of the races of Conmhaol

and of Eireamhon let the heroes themselves be examined, and all their deeds read of.

12. My friend who writes that stupid poem, thou art no match yet

for Tadhg ! I pity you who have sought the fight seeing that you are not found consistent.

XXII. 213

13- Tadhg's poem is not like your handiwork, though you have found fault with him ; in the poem on which he worked 1 there is no stupidity nor any fault.

14. There is no path unknown to him in the mazv land of poesy ;

he is a pre-eminent teacher and senior poet. 2 Better not to attack him !

15. Owing to any answer which did not please us none of us would

inflict, in hate or in spiteful frantic effort, contempt on Lughaidh for payment ! 3

16. Even if we were not too honourable to do this, no one of us

would dare by his abusive speaking of Conn's race to wake the ire of the poet among us.

17. To make a reputation, a false one for yourself, you sped

forth on a foolish journey for one of your workmanship 4 though it grieves me to say so among the masters of learning.

18. If the masters had started a discussion to give thorough proofs

of their learning the reputation of having tried to buy a name for wisdom on the strength of ignorance would stick to you everywhere ever after.

19. It is not you who should have been chosen against Tadhg but

one who had taken high degrees. Come not into the wrangle 5 of battle. Fighting is no part of a sage's work.

20. Strive not to gainsay the unshakeable 6 words of Tadhg. To

deal with them, as I suspect,7 your power of argument nor your poetic achievements are not fit.

21. Had you argued without abuse no attempt would have been

made to revile you. By essaying a vile kind 8 of dispute you have brought on yourself this fight.9

22. You shall find here resistance even from those who are working

at the "elements." 10 I tell you that bitter shall we prove to be when we shall see thy face. (K). Ll

23. I am a pupil of Tadhg. I will undertake to sustain the fight ;

as an advance guard 1 though I am gentle 2 I undertake to crush you.3

24. In deep knowledge of antiquity, in the disputes of the sages,

or as to the merits of North and South poor would be vour arguments compared 4 to mine.

25. To show that you are immature, only a one-day's growth, no

one saw any sense in your work. You did not make your work with any woof.5

26. See how was marshalled here 6 a host that hundreds could not

defeat ! That you should advance to your utter shaming better were it to leave Eire !

27. You should not have gone boasting of the desert tracks of secret

lore. Leave to sages to explore them. " Blow not on a dying spark." 7

28. Though Lughaidh be dear to you, take not on yourself a hard

task. In trying (K) it 8 do not thou put thy foot into the bottomless sea of poetry !

29. Remain a little while in class among the learned folk9 who

have gone to your teacher, you novice (?). The making 10 of poetry is not a thing for you ! 1X

30. Spite of all they said in their passion, it was here (in South) that

they acquired their learning for the refuting 12 of the inflated learning which you put forth by way of wisdom.

31. You have put no proper finish on your argument ! Your arguing

is of no effect. Strive not to answer me ! Your learning is immature.

[This poem seems (cf. vv. 14, 21) to answer XXI. O'Curry in his descrip- tion of this poem in 23 L. 3 (H. and S. Cat., p. 534) says : " Surely this poem should be set down as McAodhagain's first poem." As however XXI. is almost certainly an answer to McAodhagain's poem XX., and as v. 14 seems to fix this poem as subsequent to XXI., O'Curry's opinion seems to me unlikely.

The MSS. vary as to the order of the stanzas. In T3, I, D2, the order is 1, 2, 5, 9-13, 21, 16, 14-15, 17-19, 3, 4 ; in L3, G2, it is 22, 5, 9-13, 6-8, 14-19, 21, 20.]

i. Wait till you hear my argument, Tadhg. Your poem will cause you repining. Your insulting conduct has gone to a senseless length. It is a serious thing to try to abuse me.

2. Give me some fair play in argument. Take to heart the meaning

of my words. Insolent is the arguer who would wish to violate the proper order of discussion.

3. Be satisfied with my criticising according to truth the statements

of the books, or else refute what I said, and do not be satisfied, as I am, with the proper view of things.

4. Do not be satisfied with laws or rules, attack justice, defend

wrong ! Do not think of flinching, but go on speaking your arrogant words.

5. A certain weight you possess, a tongue that clatters at your

will, but charging with fierce speed is not right for you. You have put no check on your feelings.

6. Reproach yourself ; retrace your steps ; atone for your words ;

merit not disgrace ; defend not your senseless language.

7. To contend with us is for you a silly thing, a restlessness as

of the sea. 2 There is no coming safe out 3 of the fight with me. It is a disgrace for you to be reviling 4 us.

8. Show respect to my professional prerogative (?),5 if you please,6

confess yourself lacking in knowledge. Strive not to lecture me. Obey 7 my teaching, Tadhg.

9. Many till to-day thought your shallow pool of knowledge a very

ocean of lore, till you undertook 8 to refute us.

10. As a pool which has no depth makes much noise, so solid sense

is not always with him whose talk is most voluble.

11. I shall assert 10 even of a fox that till the hound, which is to kill

him, gets a chance of shaking him in his rage, great is the barking of the clamorous dog X1 (?).

12. Terrible for you is the rage of the dog, the furious dog that has

overtaken you, you now yelping in terror. To strive against his strength is dangerous.

13. Though many are the folk who vaunted of your being pitted 12

against the dog, believe the dog who says he will overcome you. Exultation is not for you !

14. You have asked me x to disclose my face though I thought

well not to do so and then you threatened your bow at me. Your language shall bring on you bitter wrath.

15. Better for you not to see my face. Other poets do not wish to

await it. To them no cause of hatred shall be the sight of the fierceness of battle 2 on my face.

16. If you have no one to back you up, think not this (Northern)

part of Iughoine's Land has no learning except that of the son of Mac Con.3

17. Always up to now I mean no reproach to your Mogh's great

Half Conn's Half has been a school-couch 4 rather than any other Half of Iughoine's Land.

18. No one need mind your bow. It will never attain but crooked

shooting. Do not even mention that bow (i.e. poetry). You do not find it easy to wield. 5

19. Never was any terrible death wrought by the shafts of a bow

like yours. Woe to the man who stirred up the din of fight with the Northerns except he has many to support him.

20. I should not need to ask any sage among the pillars of the school

of Conn's Land to help me, in the day of your undoing, my friend !

21. Again, who told you I was ignorant,6 my friend ? Till Doomsday

never mention my knowledge which has come unscathed out of my dispute with you.

22. Yet I must not leave undefended the cause about which you

have written, pleading it, as you do, in mad drunken fashion. Now, listen to my argument ! 7

[Answer to XXIII.]

i. I flee not before silly argument. Terrific threatening of foolish words is no cause of confusion to anyone, and distresses not my spirit.

2. You have put on me an unmerited reproach as to my profession.

Evil was your intent. Your own speech has condemned you. You have taken a course that shows your own words to be false.

3. To defend your first poem as would have been right was not

the object of your second. This is not the proper method of discussion. " An insolent arguer " describes yourself.1

4. That I should attack you now is no reproach to my gravity.2

You strove first to attack me, though the wounds inflicted by your abuse are not very formidable !

5. It is bold of you to revile me for shallowness of knowledge.3 I

checked your first attack,4 and refuted all your lies.

6. As to my pool of knowledge 5 concerning antiquity you have dis-

graced yourself at its very edge.7 (K). The bottom of my knowledge is a deep thing and indeed you have not reached it !

7. Not on the glory of only one master 8 have I been reared. Often

I see and have seen things which you would see no more than a blind man, things which your mind can never grasp.

8. You do no credit to your art. The art whence I am styled 9 I

treat so that it has suffered no harm from my words (?). That is no foolish word but truth.10

9. Are you not the hound that was shaken X1 openly in sight of

Eire's sages, by me who, in order to crush your lies on your lips, had no thought of fear in refuting you ?

10. I have refuted you as to your first poem. l2 Let us keep to this

point. I will not cease repeating it to you. I defy you to deny my facts.

11. I will confine myself to the books. There shall be nothing

without its proof, nor any deceit on my lips nor impetuous language 13 in my argument.

12. When the hare escapes him a useless dog, like you, barks loudly,

telling of his defeat. That such is the case one sees from your words.

13. Refuting of what is beyond you, needless abuse of people, -

it is these things done by you in your ignorance which prove your ignorance.14

14. Some of the evidence of your folly is also your extravagant

self-praise, the furious abusiveness of your language like the snapping of an otter's teeth.

15. That you do not keep to the lines of^your own argument, that

you contradict what you have previously said, that you boast of the hidden things of your knowledge these are further proofs of your folly.

16. If the cause could have been defended at all, better was what

Mac Con's son said that what is said by the rest of you. Cease from your arrogance and hatred.

17. After asking to see your face and learn your name,1 I next

requested you to defend what you had said. Do not come without any sensible defence.

18. True, as you are a brawler,2 I threatened you with my bow.

I love to defeat a troop of such foes and to smite heavily brawlers,

19. As you are not of that stock 3 I praise you not for defending it.

A reproach to his fame is the use of faulty argument by a sage who professes wisdom.4

20. Threaten with your battle-fury all who may fear your face.

Your face should 5 put off its fierce aspect before the fresh brightness of mine.

21. I infer from your poem to me that you have not got, my Northern

friend who hast argued with me, much time to lie 6 on that couch 7 of yours !

22. Even if all the rest escaped, you shall be attacked, because it

was not in your own behalf 8 that you have undertaken to revile my bow.9

23. Do not pervert it (truth) with your contentious words. Not

a word did I say in my first poem except according to the books. You should not find fault with truth.

24. Threaten me not with your angry face ! 10 Attend to my reply.

Stand by your statements, or try to patch up the damaged fame of your companion. (K).

25. You must not avoid the sum and substance of my arguments.

I pervert nothing in crooked verses. Let us both prove our statements.11

26. I will not continue my answer to your sharp ungentle language.

If you choose to keep to it,12 remember that satire is not learning.

27. As for the winning of victory in stinging words without any

worthy argument, the victory of which you are proud not in that is my skill best !

1. How strange x of Tadhg, because he is engaged in a dispute, to

meddle with the fair sources of our glory, the sweet sub- jects of our language !

2. Is it not strange that he undertakes to dispute with weighty

folk, though most of his work is only tin 2 and the full of his mouth of Gaedhealg ?

3. If Banba's prosperity were assured the people would be highly

amused in this land of fair woods and ancient plains, at the crazy words of the poet.

4. But since it is Tadhg in the West who has been arguing, his

words must be called senseless ; they are inspired by hard drinking, or the beginnings of madness have set him wandering.

5. As it appears,3 he has addressed fierce abuse in a vulgar poem

to Baothalach the man who fills with joy4 the eyes and the hearts of Conn's race, the man 5 by whom wisdom has been fostered.

6. He, a raw poet of Core's Steading, said he would defeat Baotha-

lach with a handful 6 of trivial verse ! mad the poet who spoke thus !

7. Tadhg followed no peaceful 7 path for him ! the instinct of

the foolish deer which, caught in a net, makes wild leaps in it,8 though that will avail nothing.

8. His torrent of rough hot words shall if people are not all dead

be but a short-lived glory for Mac Daire. One should laugh at his argument.

9. There are many teachers in every tribe, many scholars 9 out-

spoken,10 in the fair-branched ll land of Gaedhal, who could refute the fellow.

10. Little can be said against Mac Aodha 12 a pleader of power a

fire 13 fitted to warm the coldness of ignorant men. He is a cup-bearer of wisdom.

11. For Tadhg with his loose learning to strive against Baothalach's

poems would be the struggle of a child with a furious warrior, or as the attempt of a wingless bird to fly !

Goodly the power of their great wisdom. They are the birds of the forest 1 of wisdom.

i. My foolish-spoken friend a take care lest it be for your shame that empty loud talk be spoken by all of you far and wide !

2. If you had been sure that you could get leave from the king,2

it is certain that you would not be long talking of taking our heads and our tribute !

3. Since you are bent on peace, I think little of your power ; but

my opinion of your fighting would be still less even if all Leath Cuinn helped you.

4. Like the barking of the fox at the bell 3 a hint is enough to

show you what I mean is your idea that Leath Kogha would let her tribute be taken by the hosts of Conn's race.

5. Weak deeds without strength or justice are generally found by

a person in a crazy poet. Shallow water makes most noise. Such is the loudness of your talk.

6. You should not, Mac Diarmuda of Magh Luirg, have been the

author of words 4 which should never have been uttered even though they were inspired by ale !

7. Everyone strongly suspects that when you said these words

you felt sure that you would not gain much by talking of taking off our heads ! (?)

8. When you said that you could conquer us, however brave you

felt about it, you should not I swear it have stepped into the place of Aodh Óg ! 5

9. You should not have bound yourself 6 to the son of O Domhnaill

the clever poet. There is a proverb to be used at times " getting out is different from going in."

10. Even if you, on account of your title " Aodh the younger " and

" O Domhnaill " are son of O Domhnaill of the unbound tresses, my kinship 7 is close to the race of Brian. My hand is ready to check your onset.

11. If you, Brian8 son of Brian, are the champion 9 of Leath Cuinn,

14. Were I the only man alive of Eibhear's race that is the truth

of the matter I would not leave you a single foot of land in the North as the price of peace with you.

15. Many are the reasons why you should not have attempted it,

stupid was your effort. The " share of the haunch that goes to the dog " is what you shall get in this affair.

16. I must not continue this thing for ever. Whether in peace or

in open war .... (?).2

17. Since you are trusting to the king's peace,3 my loquacious 4

Northern friend Oh ! if we were at war ! I will say no more ! 5

18. [Here is my fair riddle though a hard one for Leath Cuinn.

My father was born in my day and yet before me. Thus is my name plainly.7 (?)

19. Aodh O Domhnaill the Cuchuluinn of the North .... (?)

O Briain's son 8 trampling on him undertook to draw his blood (?).9

XXVIII. 233

[This poem and the following one though not strictly part of the contention, are generally found after it in the MSS.j

1. Listen, ye poets of Banba ! Give us too an opportunity of

pleading so that we may speak a while of the race of great Ir son of Mile.

2. There has been a dispute for some time, raised by you, poets

of Banba North and South, between great Eibhear and Eireamhon and their races.

3. Give their turn now to gentle Rudhraidhe's race who now and

of old are supreme in poesy and lore.

4. The favours of Claim Rudhraidhe to the poets of Inis Fail, and

the love the poets gave in return should be the beginning and end of each poem.

5. It would be no reproach if Banba's poets gave Ir's race, even

to-day, the beginning and the end plainly, and the middle verse, too, of every poem !

6. Except for Rudhraidhe's race, flower x of valour,2 there would

not be of the poets even a spark in the ashes !

7. Once, some twelve hundred noble poets were gathered at Ceann

Tragha 3 being sent over-seas together 4 never to return to Eire.

8. Valorous Rudhraidhe's race hasten from North and South to

keep these poets spite of all against them.

9. The decision of the case was that the poets were kept. Three

years quartering on the Ulaidh was given them.

10. Once on a time, noble Athairne,5 the famous accomplished

violent sage, made his dwelling on Beann Eadair beside the borders of the Laighin.

11. Beneath the feet of his sheep, hurdles of thin wood were made

of spears by the hands of the Laighin (?). Hence the place was called " Ath Cliath."

12. Athairne had in his house three hundred milch-cows,6 and no

one but a few poets in his household.

13. He used to pour the remains of his milk each day down the

cliff beside him, lest anyone else might drink it.

14. When Athairne, who hid the faults of none, passed the wicked

judgment on the Laighin they gathered from East and West to drive him from Beann Eadair.

15. He sends North for valourous Rudhraidhe's race, telling them

in their homes to come South to help him.

16. Conchobar, chief of the host, and the Ulaidh then came. There

was no halt till Beann Eadair. Long shall last the sorrow of it !

17. For seven whole days seven bloody battles were fought between

the Ulaidh— many were the wounds ! and the red-handed heroes of the Laighin.

18. In the fray were wounded a youth of Conchobar's children

and many of their graceful youths young folk not yet fit to bear arms.

19. Then Finghin, the wizard-healer, sent messengers to Athairne

to say that a vessel of milk is to be urgently sent to the wounded youths.

20. On hearing the request, anger seized him, and he instantly pours

the milk down to the rough, ruddy sea.

21. He said angrily : " If all the men of Eire came to help me I would

not give them a morsel of food." *■

22. Hard-he^arted Athairne merited not the love of the heroes of the

Red-Branch. It was the splendid poets with him, and not he, whom they fought for.

23. That was the cause of the battle which Macha's great host and

the fierce warriors of the Laighin fought with multitudes of spears at Beann Eadair.

24. To count the stars, or the white sand, or the grass of a lawn,

or the leaves of an oak, is to try to count the benefits of Ir's good race to the poets

25. before Spanish Mile's eight sons came over sea 2 with Ir to

fight for the tribute 3 the beginning of quarrel and con- tention.

26. When Mile's courteous sons came first, sixty ships was the

number of the host coming to red-weaponed Eire.

27. There were just thirty ships with warriors defending them, and

other thirty well-laden ships full of hard-worked slaves.

28. Forty vigorous 4 warriors coming I shall not hide their

story to fight for Eire against the comely Tuatha De Danaan.

29. Coming in sight of Banba they put forth a brave rivalry, and

each stout ship's leader seized an oar, bounding impetuously.

30. Ir's ship leaped far before them as an arrow shot from a bow,5

so that the angry face of Eibhear Donn chid the speeding of the ship on the swift wave.

31. Be it in jealousy that Donn spoke, or to urge the impetuous

heroes, we must ever assign to Ir the beginning of our plunderings and battle-deeds !

32. Ir broke the thick oar, and fell back along the slender ship.

With its shaft 6 it lays him low and crushes the body of the battler.7

33. Sharp-bladed Ir son of Mile dies that night, and a grave was

dug for his wet corse on cold Sgeillig . Orrais. 8

34- That is why his fame went no farther through feasting Inis Fail, as did Eibhear s and Eireamhon's.

35. High-gloried Eibhear, Ir's son, after his sire's death, while yet

a tender youth wrested from Mile's sons the all-glorious province of the Ulaidh.

36. Of the race of Eibrioc son of Eibhear son of Ir, came that pair

of good kings, Cearma and brave Sobhairce,1 the first two of Eire's kings taken from the Ulaidh.

37. In all, twenty-five descendants of Ir in the List of Kings had

their term in Teamhair a number worth twice their number !

38. Seven of them 2 —'tis certain —ruled fair Banba without any

other coming between them as the rolls record.

39. Ollamh, prosperous Fionnachta, Slanoll, Geidhe Ollghothach,

Fiachaidh, Oilill Armghaoth, and the battle- warrior, Bearnghal, held sway.3

40. For one hundred and thirty-seven years 4 was Banba ruled by

the men of Ir's race with no one in between.

41. As you have fairly counted, I will tell of a few kings out of many

though all Eire knows the benefits of Rudhraidhe's race.

42. Ollamh Fodhla, brave in battle, founded the Feis of Teamhair.5

Authors think that from him are named the Ulaidh.6

43. Geidhe Ollghothach 7 the pleasant deserved not reproach on

his words. In his day the words of all men were faultless, and sweet as strings of lutes.

44. While Slanoll, Ollamh's famous son, ruled Banba no one in Eire

suffered affliction or disease.8

45. In the reign of the prosperous Fionnachta Fionn showers of

wine fell, so that it was not cold or bitter weather.9 Hence his name.

46. He who first of all men in holy Eire believed in pure Christ

was Conchobhar head of the host. For Christ did he cut down Magh Lamhraidhe. 10

47. Who was the woman of the goodly band of Eibhear's race or

Eireamhon's who ruled in Eire afterwards as did Macha of the long ruddy hair ? 11

48. She marked out Eamhain as Tea Teamhair. There never could

be borne by woman of Mile's race a better woman to rule a palace.

49. For nine hundred years was Eamhain full of joy and mirth from

Macha's day a prosperous time- till the day of Feargus Fogha. 12

50. No one ever heard of a royal fort in Fodhla's land East or West

to rival Eamhain for hospitality and wine-feasts,

54. I shall now speak of those of Ir's race who never were kings

and who are daily oftener mentioned, I think, than the glory of Eire's High-Kings.

55. Conchobhar, just Cormac, Conall, Feargus Mac Roigh, Cumh-

scraidh,1 undefeated Cuchullainn, Irial, great- cloaked Laoiseach.

56. Laoghaire Buadhach the prosperous, Ross,2 Feargna, Fear-

adhach, Fionntain, fair Furbhaidhe, Cealtchair, Conghal, Ceithiorn.

57. Of them too were Blai Briuga the wise, Seancha, Cathbadh,

Conlaoch, Aonghus, noble Eoghan, Naoise, Ainnle, Ardan.3

58. Any poet who would argue for Ir's goodly race will find it easy

to make stout stand, no matter how many be against him.

59. Answer me this question, whichever of you loves dispute, which

was the best third of the race of Ir, Eibhear and Eireamhon ?

60. Which was stoutest in battle, most lavish in hospitality ? 4

which is called the " thumb compared to the fingers " ?

61. It is not right to call Conn's race " Ulltaigh " ! They did not

first occupy the land, though they are long there.

62. Let us see in any other race the valour of Rudhraidhe's stock !

Where is now . . . (?) 5 to-day among any of your races?

63. Hospitality, protection of poets, reproachless valour, are their

three abiding qualities. If I had any greater praise I would give it them.

64. Ir's race, which never baulked a challenge, has many a charter

which none can dispute to the fair-grassed land of the Ulaidh.

65. Every palace from Northern Toraidh 6 to Loch Laoigh 7 of the

hard-prowed barks, and from the Boinn to the bright Drobhaois 8 was built by them for their dwellings.

66. Aodh's fort 9 over the bay, and red Aodh's fair waterfall 10 are

named from one of the race, red Aodh impetuous son of Badharn. u

i. O sons of Eibhear let me have my due ! for my suit is a fitting one. If you kindly admit my service, service like it is worth pleading for.

2. On you all noble and humble,1 chiefs and princes, O fair race

of Eibhear ! my suit is a fitting one.

3. As regards the reward which one who gives dutiful service

deserves, I think that if he plead well for it 2 his pleading is a fit one to urge on nobles.

4. I have performed with sincerity of heart a service to you in the

end of my life which has been passed by me in good service (?), the blazing fire of love urging me thereto.

5. Ever since your race was attacked in the poem about Torna and

noble Niall your injury was left un cured till, O race of Crot, I bethought me of defending you !

6. Everything they said against the truth which was an insult to

your honour I refuted according to truth. That it (truth) should not be perverted was an obligation on me (?).

7. Paths of knowledge as to your ancestors' good deeds which were

obscure to you I opened up and made clear without any crooked speech or making over-much 3 of anyone.

8. My words were not biassed argument for you, nor mere im-

pulsive speech, but the track marked out in the old books of our fathers by whom the Gaedhil's race was straightly traced.

9. O sons of Eibhear, if you find your honour standing secure owing

to my learned well-reasoned poem, it were not strange that I get the reward of it !

10. The honour-price worthy of your race, the race that leaves no

brave man lying low I have a right to that for defending your race though my claim be hard to grant.

11. Much as Mac Liag 4 of Luimneach got half of what he got is

not known he did not merit from the fair 5 Muimhneach band as great reward as I.

12. Seeking my reward I will pay a visit with some importunity

to you, fair sons of Eibhear ! On no bootless visit shall I get it.

13. I shall not forget the race of good Carthach, the band of heroes

from the Leamhain,6 with their kindred branches, who set no store on paltry love of treasures.7

14. In my round I shall not leave out the stately folk of Magh

gCoinchinn,8 the Cairbrigh 9 and the active host of the Muscraidhe,10 who fail not to support their neighbours.11 (?)

O'Sullivans, brave Mac Gillacuddy, that martial warrior hero.

17. M'Auliffes who support poets' schools, the modest-visaged

O'Donohoes, whose glory is pre-eminence in sharp good lances, and the fierce-armed McFineens. *

18. The O Hehirs are of the same stock, and the brave O Moriarties.

Count the O Donovans of them too, that perfect heavy-fruited branch.

19. After bidding farewell to Eoghan's race I shall go to Cas' gentle

race no journey of an ignorant man set on following up impartially their stock.

20. What ravens of hosts are better of all that strove for Eire's

honour than the stock of Blod, source of the race whence comes the seed of Brian Boroimhe ?

21. Though a change of name disguises them, of Brian's stock is

McMahon's race. Of it is Tadhg's race from yewy Ara,6 that fair high land of rich-borders !

22. From Blod too spring a race not to be forgotten though not

as exalted as Brians the lofty wood of fair Cliu.7

23. The O Kennedys of Loch Deirgdeirc,8 McGraths9 brave in deeds

of fierce anger, the O Maras of bright fair repute, the O Herlihys and O Hogans.

a ''ace joyous and noble, the sharp-bladed battling race of Aonghus are all of the good stock of Cas.

26. The O Carrolls, a goodly stock, the race of Cian, good to all

petitioners, the 0 Haras from the plain of Luighne,11 a manly band good in fight.

on Donnchadh O Briain,2 wise-ruling head of Cas' race, good Earl of the warriors of the Feargus.

29. A blessing to Eibhear's race is that smooth-skinned hero who

never shirked danger, who nurtured his people's glory, their warrant 3 against oppression.

30. While he lives good fortune, renown, pre-eminence, pro-

tection shall be in Eibhear's noble race, the race which he has made glorious.

31. There sprang other lofty trees from the root of our fragrant

tree. That their names are not like those of the Gaoidheal keeps me not from mentioning them.

32. Count owing to their female ancestors as worthy brethren of

Eibhear's stock, the Burkes, Butlers, Barrys, Roches, though all of foreign stock.4

33. On the female side from our race comes Thomas Earl of

Ormond.5 The stronger now are the powerful bands of the graceful fresh-faced hero of Thurles.

34. If one examines 6 the race of Lore,7 from our stock also sprang

the race of the bold Fitzgeralds descended from our woman- folk.

35. If the powerful 8 prince Richard 9 were present now in b right -

yewed Eire, would any branches of the wood seem fairer, though you look all round the fair plain of Eire ?

36. Mayst thou, O God ! share Heaven's palace with me it is not

a reward which I merit because our bond of kinship an ever glorious bond is the kinship of thy pure mother !

37. As thou hast vouchsafed to be of one blood with us, may I

never, O King of Heaven ! give any cause why I should be separated from Thee in the next life, on account of wealth which shall pass away from me 1

1. Woe to him who praises poets ! Folly to maintain 1 them ! (K).

Ill has it fared with any who contended with the great ones of the glorious tuneful host !

2. Badly at times do the poets' bands remember the joyousness,

the great honour of Ir's race, and its faithful defence of all !

3. It was unjust of the sages not to take account of the seed of the

stock from Port Breagh,2 or place them among Mile's sons.

4. Ir outstripped the others surely when coming to Eire, coming

here over the bright blue sea, the heroes raced their ships.3

5. By the dangerous plying of the oar was drowned how sad !

the bright 4 comely fair hero, prince of his race, the Manannan of Mile's sons.

6. Eibhear, Ir's only son, after his father's death, when they were

on their course to Banba, was a youth (K) little would ha^e made it a permanent arrangement (?).

7. The province was given him what wealth ! his share as a mere

boy that he might keep peace with the others, and Ir would not have been content with that !

8. Er, Orba, Feargna Fearon,5 Lughaidh,6 Eibhear, Eireamhon

sharing four provinces by battle-deeds with showers of spears !

9. Ir's race too ruled all Eire at times (the heroes' tale is by me

ever), their own province unchallenged.

10. Of Ir's race I have read (this makes Eire's poets the more guilty)

that it conferred benefits glorious to tell of on the well-watered land of Banba Breagh.

11. Wine-flowers in every district for twenty years full-perfect !

While Fiacha Fionscothach ruled, Eire's lands were not flowerless !

12 . Ollamh Fodla 10 prince of blessing ! established (a great deed !)

the Feis of Teamhair. He is worth boasting of by Ulltacha !

13. There was built by him a portent of fame a rampart for

the poets of Inis Fail. The building of the hostel lasting the wealth a pity not to recall the benefit of it. (K).

14. All men free from disease and pain for twenty years. What a

blessing ! Well for the fair land of the Breagha when Slanoll n was made king !

15. Thenceforward Ir-land is the name of the bright well-watered

land because of Ir's relics being in Eire, and not because of the other races.

i6. All men's tongues had the sound of strings for eighteen years (a grateful blessing !) while Eire of the well-watered soil was ruled by Geidhe Ollghothach * of the Ulltacha.

17. For twenty years, I rejoice to think, Fionnachta 2 ruled Eire, a

time of no harsh weather here, wine-snow falling on every field !

18. For sixty years, during the reigns of three high-kings 3 of the

Ulltacha, there befel no woe bringing pain or suffering, and no young woman died in travail !

19. In Diothorba's 4 reign fruit failed not on the coloured hazel,

and the ploughings were fruitful a hundred-fold on every slope through the land of Eire !

20. A woman of fair-cascaded Ulaidh ruled Eire in triumph and

honour by result of battle, red-haired Macha,5 set over all the kings !

21. We have heard of no woman of Eireamhon's race or of Eibhear's

as ruling Eire's mottled plain by prowess of battle-deeds and triumphs !

22. As regards superiority of lore about the old nobility, I find, on

the testimony of Mile's sons, that it was Ir's race which ranged the heroes according to their rights (?).

23. Let a stanza of every poem surely, a poem too of every poet's

work,6 be given Ir's race by us as our meed of praise for their defence of us.7

24. When the " Home of the Three " 8 belongs not to gentle Ir's

stock, Magh Rath's 9 joyous warriors own by right their own share of the " House of Teamhair."

25. The rest of it belongs then to the high king of the Breagha, and

to the kings of the four provinces. Thus we are not content with half of Teamhair 8 as a mark of honour to Eamhain's host.

26. For two hundred years 10 Ir's race ruled soft-sodded Banba (no

other king in between them) oppressed only by guests. (K).

27. All the glorious deeds, all the benefits which I counted for the

Ulltacha in the way I heard them were no useless benefits to Eire.

28. As for those " benefits " of the otner noble stocks, the bursting

forth of lakes that ruin fields,12 what is the use of a fair plain flooded ruining the corn on the land ?

29. If anyone says that the bursting forth of lakes and of river-

mouths be benefits, a pity his land is not all one lake, seeing the good of those wild floods !

30. If battles or single-fights were benefits then would the palm of

all Eire be to the Ulltacha for their stout battle-marches !

31. The hosts, the muster of the four Provinces, march forth

propitiously for battle. Ulltaigh were not mentioned in the fight, one3 alone repelling them. (K).

32. I defy any man to say he has heard that a host of Ulaidh turned

to retreat when on foray 4 before a hundred times its number.

33. By the steed-loving IJlaidn Dun Con Raoi 5 is plundered proud

exploit ! Durlas too, the poet's resort, Cruacha Cuinn and the land west to the Sionnainn. 34 Eamhain Macha was never plundered by force of king or great chief. Many sages are my witness that that fort was thought too formidable !

35. Small account did she make of the heroes' bravery, the exploits

of the four provinces in battle-front and deeds of prowess ever fighting the Ulltacha.

36. For their fights, enough to mention " the host of Eochaidh's

race,7 the red hand8 of Eire!" (K). Many true battles of theirs in Eire have been recorded therein by the lore of the sages.

37. Not half of what I know of the great deeds and the nobility of

the choice princes 9 of Clar Cumair ! Not half of their combats have I discovered !

N.B. New Address: 7 Brunswick Square, London, W.C.I.

The Irish Texts Society was established in 1898 for the purpose of publishing texts in the Irish language, accompanied by such in- troductions, English translations , glossaries, and notes as may be deemed desirable.

The Annual Subscription (from 1st January, 1921), is 12/6 (Ameri- can subscribers, $3.25), payable on 1st January, on payment of which members will be entitled to receive, post free, the current volume or, at the option of the member, any one of the earlier volumes which may still be available. There is no entrance fee.

The payment of a single sum of *£7 7s. Od. (colonial or foreign members £7 10s. Od.; American members 38 dollars), entitles to life membership. Life members will receive one copy of each volume issued subsequently to the receipt of this sum by the Society.

Vols. I., II. and III. are now out of print and others are rapidly becoming scarce. The ordinary sale price to non-members is 15/6 per volume (post free).

The Council makes a strong appeal to all interested in the

preservation and publication of Irish Manuscripts to join the Society

and to contribute to its funds, and especially to the Editorial Fund» which has been established for the remuneration of Editors for their

arduous work.

NOTE Change of Address.

All communications should be addressed to the Hon. Secretary, 7 Brunswick Square, London, W.C. 1.

Irish Texts Society.

The Twenty-first Annual Meeting of the Irish Texts Society was held on 31st January, 1920, at 7 Brunswick Square, London, W.C.I.

Mr. R. Flower, Chairman of the Executive Council, presided.

The Minutes of the last Annual Meeting, held on 1st February, 1919, were taken as read. The Honorary Secretary read the

Twenty-First Annual Report.

A series of labour troubles in Dublin and a succession of dis- appointments and delays at various stages of the work kept back for some time the publication of the overdue "Contention of the Bards/' edited by the Rev. Lambert McKenna, S.J., M.A., but the Council is glad to report that the work is now ready to be bound and it is confidently expected that both parts, constituting the Society's volumes for the years 1918 and 1919 will be in the hands of members, whose subscriptions for those years are not in arrear during the early summer, 1920. These volumes will constitute Nos. 20 and 21 of the series and their publication marks the close of twenty-one years of the Society's work, which in- cludes, in addition, the publication of the larger and smaller editions of the Rev. P. S. Dinneen's Irish-English Dictionary, in the years 1904 and 1910, respectively. As members of the Society are aware, the stereo plates of the original and larger Dictionary were burnt during Easter Week, 1916, and the stock is completely exhausted.

The language movement and the study of our literature are seriously hampered without this invaluable instrument. The Council in 1918 engaged Father Dinneen to replace it and to make the new work a far fuller and more useful book than the first Dictionary of sixteen years ago. Substantial progress has already been made with the preparation of the new edition, which will surpass anything of the kind hitherto attempted for Irish. The collection of the necessary funds to ensure its speedy and success- ful completion is now the most important and engrossing work the Council has on hands and the assistance of every member of the Society as well as of every friend of, and believer in the language movement is earnestly called for at this difficult time so that we may bring our labours and those of our untiring Editor to a happy conclusion. Considerable sums are urgently needed for this national object and although the appeal circulated last year has met with a generous response from some friends of the Society, the general response cannot be described as encouraging.

The forces behind the language movement in Ireland as a whole, though they are destined to receive a great accession of strength from the publication of this most vital work, have not yet co-operated with the Council's efforts as might have been anticipated.

Up to 31st December, 1919, the following sums had been received in aid of the Dictionary Fund : Donations £90, Loans £540, Total £630. It is estimated that this sum represents only about one-third of what will be required to produce the new edition of the Dictionary.

It is to be remembered that during the last four years the Society has felt severely the lack of the income which was formerly derived from the sales of the larger Dictionary. It is therefore in a less advantageous position to meet the cost of the new under- taking out of its own resources. Hence, the Society again appeals for loans and donations, large or small to help on the work.

Besides the "Contention of Bards" the Council has to report that the volumes for 1920, 1921, and 1922, viz. : the Poems of Tadhg Dall O Higgin and the Poems of the 0 Neills of Clannaboy (in two vols.) are practically ready for the press and that only difficulties connected with the printing and binding of these volumes delay their appearance.

Hitherto the whole of the Society's printing and binding work has been done in Ireland, and it is hoped that this record may be maintained, but rising costs on all sides together with protracted labour troubles are a severe handicap, as well as a great strain upon the Council's resources in carrying on its ordinary work.

The difficulties to which reference has been made have forced upon the Council the inevitable course of asking the general meeting to sanction an increase in the membership subscription. Many members have already expressed their concurrence and have either forwarded increased subscriptions or contributed an additional sum towards the heavy extra costs of binding. The consequential alteration in Rule 9 (as amended after debate) will make it read as follows :

The Annual Subscription from 1st January, 1921, shall be 12/6 per annum, entitling the member to one copy (post free) of the volume published by the Society for the year, and giving the right to vote on all questions submitted to the general meeting of the Society. The payment of a single sum of £7 7s. Od. (Colonial or foreign members £1 10s. Od.) entitles to life membership. Life members will receive one copy of each volume issued subsequently to the receipt of this sum by the Society.

The published price of volumes from 1st February, 1920, has been increased from 10/6 to 15/6.

Thirty-six new ordinary members joined the Society during the year 1919, and eight life members making a total of twenty-four life members and about two hundred and fifty ordinary members who have subscribed regularly in each of the last three years ; there are many more names on the books and several, we regret to report, of persons who appear to have taken up membership for a year, or perhaps two, and have not further subscribed. Attention is directed to the terms of rule 14 and to the fact that in these days the constant circulation of reports and notices to members who ignore the receipt of them is a heavy recurrent charge on the funds of the Society. Members whose subscriptions are in arrear are earnestly requested to adjust their accounts without delay.

The increase in the subscription originally proposed in the Council's report was from 7/6 to 10/6 per annum. After debate, an amendment was proposed by Dr. England, seconded by Miss Eleanor Hull, and carried, that the annual subscription be 12/6 and the price of volumes to non-members 15/6 (with the consequential alterations as now shown in Rule 9). An amend- ment standing in the names of Mr. J. Moynihan and Mr. Charlton Walker to raise the annual subscription to 15/- was, after discussion, lost. A proposal that, in view of the heavy and increasing costs of binding, the forthcoming volumes should be distributed unbound was withdrawn for further consideration by the Executive Council.

Letters were read from several members acquiescing in the proposal to increase the subscription.

On the proposal of Mr. Rhys, seconded by Mrs. Banks, the Report was adopted.

The financial statement and balance sheet prepared by the Honorary Treasurer, Mr. Samuel Boyle, whose absence through illness, for the first time for sixteen years, was much regretted by ah present, were presented and were adopted on the proposal of Dr. England, seconded by Mr. Charlton Walker.

A vacancy in the Council having been declared it was resolved that the name of Mr. Charlton Walker, B.A., a life member of the Society be added to the Council.

The re-election of the outgoing members of the Council, Dr. J. S. Crone, Dr. England, and Rev. T. O'Sullivah, was carried on the proposal of Miss Eleanor Hull, seconded by Mr. T. D. FitzGerald.

The re-election of Professor Douglas Hyde as President of the Society, and that of the Hon. Secretary, Miss Eleanor Hull, and Hon. Treasurer, Mr. Samuel Boyle, were carried on the proposal of Dr. England, seconded by Mr. R. Flower.

A vote of condolence with Mrs. Quiggin on the death of her husband, Professor E. C. Quiggin, of Caius College, Cambridge, was moved by Mr. Flower, and seconded by Miss Hull. Both speakers referred at length to the work of Professor Quiggin and to the serious loss entailed to Celtic studies in these islands by his early death.

There are no fewer than 81 members in the Province of Munster, 60 in Dublin, and 55 in London, and some few members, at least, of the Society are to be found in nearly every European country as well as in Australia, South Africa, B.E. Africa, Egypt, India, and China.

Father dinneews Irish-English Dictionary.

The stereo plates of Father Dinneen's Irish-English Dictionary were burnt in the Dublin Rising of 1916, and the stock is completely exhausted.

The language movement and the study of our literature are hampered without this invaluable instrument. The Irish Texts Society has engaged Father Dinneen to replace it and to make the new work a far fuller and more useful book than the first Dictionary of sixteen years ago.

Large funds are urgently needed for this national object. The Society will be glad to receive either Donations or Loans. All the loans provided for the first Dictionary, amounting to over ^"500, were repaid shortly after publication. A yet larger amount is now required, in addition to what the Society has in hand. The Society looks to the Irish people at home and overseas to enable it to carry this undertaking through.

Contributions should be sent to T. D. FitzGerald, B.A., Hon. Secretary, or to Samuel Boyle, Hon. Treasurer, Irish Texts Society, 7 Brunswick Square, London, W.C. 1.
