    ro coiscit na gníma-sa;
    do-chúaid tuile, táinic tráig,
    coro báid na bríga-sa.
  2. A-tlochor don Dúilemain,
    fúar sochor co sáirmedair;
    fata mo lá i m-bethaid trúaig;
    ro bá úair co h-áillemail.
  3. Rop-sam áille airechta;
    fúar mná táide tabarta;
    ní tláith a-tú ic tríal don bith;
    ro scáich mo rith rabarta.
  4. In brúarán becc brisi-siu
    don trúagán trúag troiscthi-sea:
    mír ar cloich de, mír ar cnáim,
    mír ar in láim loiscthi-sea.

Sampling declarations

All editorial introduction, translation, glossary, notes and indexes have been omitted. Editorial corrigenda are integrated into the electronic edition. Only the text of the Murphy's edition is retained, and for this electronic edition the variants cited by Murphy are not reproduced. A full citation of variants is likely in a future electronic edition.

Normalization: The electronic text represents the edited text. Words are segmented in accordance with CELT practice, but this segmentation may not be yet complete.
