MARBHRANN UILLEAM MHUILLEIR, an ceard; Le Rob Donn.

On uair chaidh Uilleam don ùir,
Gur tearc againn sùil tha gun déur;
A mhuilleir, a bhrachadair, na chocair,
Na mhnathan dam bu choir bhi ri spréidh;
Cha mho na clamhain as gaothair,
Tha subhachsan fhaogharsna dhéigh,
Air son gum buineadh iomull na cloinne,
Gach ugh as gach eireag dha fhéin.


[371]

S glan a than talamhsna fhàsach,
Onuairsa chaidh thu bàs o cheann mìos;
Ge maiseach na macain so dhfhag thu,
Cha seas iad dhuinn t-aite nan dìs;
S ann a tha acfuinn do cheairde,
Mur shaothach na chlaraibhs na dhìosg;
An t-ord as am balg ris an teine,
An riosp as an t-inneinsan tiosp.

S giorra mo sgil na mo dhurachd,
Gu innse do chliuth mar is còir;
S minic a dhearc mi do chruinn-leum,
Gus an t-aite bu chinntich do lòn;
Sgiathan a chòta fo t-achlais,
As neul an tombac air do shroin,
Gaoir aig na coin gu do ruith,
S mir air dhroch bhruich ann ad dhorn.

Chan aithne dhomh gin feadh na talmhuinn:
A choiteir a shearbhant, no thuath,
Nach iondrain Uilleam as aodann,
Oir shiùbhladh en sgire ri uair:
Nis ona chual iad gun deach e,
Tha rud-eiginn snas air daoinuaisl;
Ar son nach eil gin anns a mhachair
A ghlanas tigh c-c no poit’ fhua’l
