[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

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
Fear-mara, and Conaire's conception ! X1
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.

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

i66. Your land was restored to you by Lugh Mac Con and Tadhg
Mac Cein. A poor reward they got for it, a beetle and awns
of barley put into their wounds ! 1
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 !
169. You do not know better than I when I am (composing) on my
couch what there is to be said for you on your side of the
question ! 4

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.

XXII. 211
[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

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 !

12. His tribe — Aodhagain's race — is a field that cannot be harried.
Goodly the power of their great wisdom. They are the birds
of the forest 1 of wisdom.
13. Indeed, they are the sources of wisdom, the roots of knowledge.
That Tadhg should open the soft bitter bubbles of wisdom
is limitless folly ! 2

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,
I belong to Mumha of MacCon. I take on myself to punish you.
12. My dear friend from the North, no matter who checks your
poem — though I think little of it, either — I undertake to
deal with your deeds.

13- I make it my business 1 to conquer you in this contest, my
Northern friend. My words are words to be spoken aloud.
Do not think them inspired by prejudice.
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

[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,

poets and brave men, servants and stout messengers,
52. in silks and satin, in gold-adorned cloth, in warriors friendly and
fair, in drinking and chess-playing.
53. In Eamhain none was ever refused request for present or for
fight. Fighting was never thrust on any who were there on
visit or invitation.
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

67. Eas Craoibhe 1 was called after Craobh, for the daughter of
Eoghan son of Duthracht 2 frequented that fair pool— it is
an old story I tell you.
68. Eastwards from Bladhma 3 to the Bearbha 4 is the patrimony
of Eamhain's warriors, and from fair-hilled Uisneach 5 to cold-
waved Loch nAinind.6
69. To the race of Fearghus Mac Roigh belong by right the five

Oiche 9 and Corca Achlann 10 — the three sons of Meadhbh
(and Fearghus), the splendid heroes Ciar, Core and Conmac.
71. That my poem be taken up X1 at its beginning — since that is our
ancient custom — I say " from your arguing over there in your
land cease ye poets of Eire " !

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 (?)

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.
24. The O Caisins, McNamaras and one of their branches the
O Clancys, the O Heas from the fair plain of Eachtgha,10 are
branches of the great tree to be followed up.
25. Dealbhaoth's stock the brave Mac Cochlain, and the O Deas,
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.
27. So that folk may not call me tedious I cannot — in my fear of
this — stay to count all the true branches of our tree !

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,

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 : —
Subscription.
9. — 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.
5
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.

membership of about 440, approximately 52 per cent, are resident
in Ireland, 26 per cent, in Great Britain, and 15 per cent, in
America and Canada. 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.
