A Literary History of Ireland, from Earliest Times to the Present Day

Note 13 — Chapter XIV

Reading edition

This poem begins:

"Ropadh maith lem corm-lind mór Do righ na righ Ropadh maith lem muinnter nimhe Acca hol tre bithe shír."

I.e., "I would like a great lake of ale for the King of the kings, I would like the people of heaven to be drinking it through eternal ages," which sounds curious, but Brigit probably meant it allegorically.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
