Note 15 — Chapter XXXIX
Reading edition
See "Eachtraidh a' Phrionnsa le Iain Mac Coinnich," p. 270. The poem is by D. B. Mac Leóid. It looks like a later production, but will exemplify a not uncommon metre.
Gu cladach a' chuàin Ri fuar-ghaoth an Anmoich Thriall TeArlach gan deAllradh Air Allaban 's e sgìth, Gun reull air a bhroIlleach No freIceadan a fAlbh leis Ach ainnir nan gòrm-shul Bu dealbhaiche lìth. Mar dhaoimean 'san oidhche Bha(n) mhaighdean fu thùrsa Si cràiteach mu Thearlach Bhi fàgail a dhùthcha; Bu trom air a h-osna, S bu ghoirt deòir a sùilean Nuair chonnaic i 'n iùbhrach A' dlùthadh re tìr.
