Note 5 — Chapter XXXI
Reading edition
Is é immoro adíabul, i.e., afhillind, i.e., doemnad, ut est hoc, i.e.,
"Águr águr iar céin chéin Bith i péin, phein ni síth síth, Amail cách cách, co bráth bráth, In cech tráth tráth, cid scíth scíth."
My translation is in the exact metre of the original, and conveys in English the manner in which the heptasyllabic Irish lines were pronounced, in which, despite of what some continental scholars have advanced, there is, I believe, no alternation of beat or stress at all, and neither trochee nor iambus. O'Beirne Crowe mistranslates águr by "I ask."
