Oran do Ranull óg Mac-Mhic-Ailen, Tighearna Chlannranuill, &c.

MO chion na chonnraig me mchadul,
Ranull óg chaidh linn do Shasgunn;
Marceach múinte nan steid brasa,
Nach géarr fed no sranns an bhaitteal.

Gur toil lium an Cóirneal slisgheal,
Don tigeadh na h airm go sgippi;
Claidheamh, gunna, sgiath, is piostol,
S eileadh cruinn an cáradh sgiobult.


[110]

Leoghann guineach, calma, luineach,
Tuil-bheim sgrios-mharbhachs a ruaig u;
Beithir bhéumunnachn am fuathais,
Phas a chúrs an Colaist cruadail.

Fuair u t fhadhairt anns na bláramh,
S a chruadal an cogadh Th—ch;
Chleachd u adhartachd na dpháist’,
Gun suil do laghad air gábhadh.

mo mhulaidbhi as t aoinis;
Ba mhiann lium bhi, faicinn t aodainn,
Tha gun stoirm, gun fhéith, gun fhaoileach
Urla chruaigh an uair nan caonnag!

Ba staiddeoil, neimh-ghriofagach t abháist,
Ag gluasad go teine do námhad:
Mo ghaol an céim sochdair, státoil,
S tu le sgairt a brosnadh marsail.

Cha roailis ort ri ghraitin,
Anns a chogadh ad Ph— T—ch;
U gun mar-ai-bhith gun fhaillinn,
Mar ba bheag linn t fhiobhs na bláramh.


[111]

Ghabh am P—sa calna dDhuthaich,
Dherich u leis le lan durachd;
Snuair bhristidh a rís air le bhiui,
Phill air nais go t fhasga cliuiteach.

Ghabh u na phearsainnchead liubhuirt,
S gon lean u ris na h uidhe;
U feins do dhaoin’ -uaisle dliodhach,
S thug sibh sábhailt uaimh e rís.

S go da tha me ann mo dhúthaich,
S beag a so deir (how do you do) rium;
S buileach a chaill me mo chúrsa,
Me gun phump, gun chairt, gun stiuir orm.

Nach mio-fhortonach a chúis so?
Gon a dheilich meideadh-cúil rium;
Meideadh-uchd, mo sgiaths mo lúireach;
Ann am Muideort thug e chúl rium.

Ach, car aon bhliaghan ni me furus,
Dhfhiach am pill mo ghaol o thurus;
Ma thig esin gheibh me cummail,
S ni me criodhoil, failteach, fuireach.


[112]

Na faicinnn a tíghin miundrain,
Chead Choirnel a bhag a Ph—sa,
Chinninn chomh aottrom ri fionn-airc;
S dhamhsainn gun lot air rinn cuinnseir.

Tha u garg, is ciuin na dnádor;
Tha u mín, is garbh, na dcháileachd;
S go seamh farast u ri dchairdibh,
Tha u a dlassair bhuirb ri dnaimhdibh.

S ioma falachan priosoil, boidheach,
Tha nan cillinibh fa dchóta,
Nach nochd u do shiolach ótraich,
Gos an tachair urra choir ort.

S beag iunadh odha do shean- ’ar,
Scoileirs an diadhaire beannaichd;
Soighd- fhear garg am blár nan deannal,
Buaghan móra, glic, do leanailt.

S ioma sruthon mear lan uabhair,
A bras rith roidchuislibh uasul;
Béadar dhuit bhi lan do chruadal,
S rioghoil a stoc as na bhuaineadh!


[113]

S ioma sonn a dheiridh suas leat,
Na faiceadh iad gne do dhuais ort;
A bhrosnaicheadh an airm ma dghuailibh,
Da ddhiubhuilt air luchd da dthuairgnidh.

S leat fein Clann-ranuill na cuantaich,
Luchd na spáinneach géura, cruaghach;
Dol nan dáil is fearg nan gruaighibh,
Cha ba ghealltachd fuireach uatha.

Dhéiridh leat an t Armunn sleiteach,
Fiui lasgurra nan géur lann;
Bhiodh go trodach, lotach, beurra,
S tric thug (hog) air bodaich bheurlach.

Gon druididh a rís ann do charraid,
Cinneadh uiseil Ghlinn-ea-garadh,
Sid na laochrai luthor, mheara,
Ris nach deanadh naimhde fanailt.

Thigeadh Clann-Donuill Chinn-tire,
Do t iunsai nam beathraichibh míliont:
S mairg a chasadh ri fraoch mín-dearg,
Teachd len uile thoil da ddhídiunn.


[114]

Dheiridh Clann-Donnuil a Fhraoich leat
O Ghleannan-cumhung nan aonach;
Fir gharg, ghasta, thaippi laomsgar,
Nach drinn riabh le taise maomadh.

Sheoladh Iarl Antrum a Erinn,
Cuig-ceud-deug do dhfhearabh treuna:
Fearg is friodh an gnúis nan trenfhear,
Nach fag fuighiull béim len géur lainn.

Thig Clann-Donuill an t sleibh ruaigh as,
Guinich allamh, ullamh, ghruamach;
Gur mairg a chasadh rin tuasaid,
S iad nan armabh ri h uchd buailte.

Thig Clann-Donuill rose nan laogh as,
Comhlan sgaiteach ri h uchd caonaig,
Na h aigiunnaich chumpa thaoibhgeal,
Bhuailidh sgailc le tartair faobhair.

Thig Clann-Donuill Chnoc-a- chlaidheamh,
Na donnghallaich mheara ladhach;
Fir shurdoil’, lu’ -chleassach, chathach;
S coi’ -niomhoil dhúr ris an nathair.


[115]

Thig na Galloglaich on Bhanna,
Le slachdanabh ghorm, glana;
Ne iad smuis is feoil a spannadh;
Sin, is tiugh na slógh a thanadh.

Gon tig Clann-Donnachaidh go ghruamach,
Fineach gasta, an achdainn chruaghach,
Nach h ob cuirp, is cinn a spuachdadh;
S leantalach an tím na ruaig iad!

Marsailidh Abbaich go h ionolt,
Marr ri chuid eile dan cinneadh,
S man duraig iad a chui pillidh,
Ni iad leon nas léoir is millidh.

Thig gun ursgadh Clann-an-tsaoir oirn,
Sheasamh an tuasaid Chlann-ranuill;
S ma gheibh iad caoladh do dhaobhair,
Ne iad fuil nas leoir a thaosgadh.

Thig Rodhaich, Rosaich, is Clann-Reamhair,
Thig na Barraich, thign céudan;


[116] Cha bhi Ranull óg na eiginn,
Nuair thig uile chinnidh fein air.

Co anois a bhauileas an dallag,
Air Ranull óg Mac-Mhic-Ailen?
Gur mairg a thairnis as carraid,
S na seoid ad ma ghuaillibh air tarrainn.

Bidh tuillidhs a choir a leim ort,
Mar a h eadraig t fhíor fhuil fein ú;
Ach ’s cinteach ma chuiris tu féim orr’,
Tha do chairde farsaing, feum-sgaoilt’.
