[151]

ORAN leis a bhard cheudna, no mur their cuid a dhaoine, urnaigh Iain Ruaigh, agus e air siachadh a choise, nuair bha e air fogradh an deigh latha Chuileodair.

AIG toabh sruthain na shuidhes e sgìth,
Than Criosdaidh bochd Iain Ruagh,
Na cheatharnach fhathasd gun sìth,
Sa chas air tuisleadh san tim gu truagh.

Ma thig Guimhnich no Cataich ad dhail,
Mun slanaich air do lùithinean truagh,
Ged thig iad cho tric as a baill,
Cha chuir iad ort lamh len luaths.

Ni min ubaidh rinn Peadair do Phàl,
Sa lùithean air fas leum bruaich,
Seachd paidirn ainm Sagairt as Pàp,
Ga chur ris na phlasd mun cuairt.

Ubaidh eilas leith Mhuire nan gràs,
S urrainn creideach dheanadh slan ri h-uair;
Tha misam chreidimh gun teagamh, gun dail,
Gun toir sinn air ar naimhdean buaidh.

Sgeul eiles gur h-oil leam gur fìor,
Than drasd anns gach tir mun cuairt,
Gach fear gleusda bha feumail don Righ,
Bhi gan ruith feadh gach crioch air ruaig.

Bodaich dhona gun onair gun bhrigh,
Ach gionach beag nith air son duais,


[152] Gabhail fath oirnn anns gach ait annsam bi;
Cuir a chuibhle so Chriosd mun cuairt.

Ma thionndas i seannsail an drasd,
S gum faigh am Frangach am Flandurs buaidh;
Tha mi earbsach as an tairgneadh a bha,
Gun tig armailt ni stath thair chuan.

Gun tugadh fortan da diodunn le gras,
Mur fhuair Maois le fàbhar mhuir ruagh;
S gum bi Deorsa le a dhrealainibh baitht,
Mur bhan t-amadan Pharasa shluagh.

Nuair bha Israel sgithsan staid ghrais,
Thagh e beusan Shàil mur Righ;
Thug e sgiùrsadh le miosguinn as plaigh,
Orra fhein, air an àls air an linn.

Samhuil suds mur tha Breatunn fo bhròn,
On a reic iad an coir don Righ;
Rinn en cronachle corruich ro mhor,
Crom an donais chaidh an seorsan iasd.

A Righ shocraich Mhuire nan gràs,
Thoir dhomhsa le buaidh do chluas;
S mig umhladh le mghlùn air an lar,
Gabh athchuinge airid uam.

Ma tha sinn a sireadh ach ar coir,
Thug a Chuigs agus Deorsa uainn;
A reir do cheartais thoir neart dhuinn as treoir,
S cuir ar naimhdean air fogradh uainn.
