Note 18 — Chapter XXI
Reading edition
Here is the first verse of this in the original. The Old Irish is nearly unintelligible to a modern. I have here modernised the spelling:—
"Mac Mogachoirb Cheileas CLÚ Cun fearas CRÚ thar a gháibh Ail uas a Ligi—budh LIACH—- Baslaide CHLIATH thar Cliú Máil."
The rhyming words do not make perfect rhyme as in English, but pretty nearly so—clu cru, liath cliath, gáibh máil.
