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

Note 9 — Chapter XXXI

Reading edition

The translation is doubtful. Dr. Sigerson has well versified it in his "Bards of the Gael and Gaul," p. 116. The original has a curious metrical effect not unlike that other piece attributed to Finn, quoted above p. 275. It might be printed thus—

Scél lém duib Roruad rath Dordaid dam Rocleth cruth, Snigid gaim Rogab gnath Rofaith sam. Giugrand guth. Gaeth ard huar, Rogab uacht Isel grian Ete én, Gair arrith Aigre ré Ruthach rían. E, mosclé.
