Note 21 — Chapter XXXII
Reading edition
This verse is an imitation of the original, which runs—
"Uathmhar [i] an oidhche anocht A chuideacht [fhíor-]bhocht gan bhréig, Crodh ni SA[O]ILTÎ dh[ao]ibh air DHUAN Air an TTAOIBHSI THUAIDH do'n nGréig."
See Hardiman's "Irish Minstrelsy," vol. ii. p. 202, where a poetical version of this lyric is given in the metre of Campbell's "Exile of Erin"! He does not say from what MS. he has taken this poem. O'Curry is silent on Mac Gilla Keefe, but O'Reilly mentions another poem of his on the provinces of Munster.
