'N TEIGIRNACH MOR, Or according tO SOME, Argt. Magnus, King of Lochlin, invades the coast of Scotland (where it is said the Fingalians then were), either to revenge a former injury or to incite a fresh quarrel. He demands Fingal's wife and dog Bran, which, being refused, battle ensues. Magnus is subdued by Fingal, and his army defeated * 12 * * * * * 13 Air briseadh don Claidheamh'n air n leirg 17 O'n tharladh tu 'mo lamhan fein 18 Dheibh thu do roghan a ris Cairdeas is comun is gradh No thighin led lann gu m' Fheinn 19 Cha d'thig mis le m' lann gu d Fheinn 'S cha bhual mi buille taghaidh Fhinn 20 Ni h'ann ormsa rinn thu n lochd Dhe n thug thu do chuideachd o'd thir 'S beag a philleas a risd dhiubh sin— N.B.-Some are of opinion that the last eight stanzas, viz., from the 12th to the end, belong rather to the Cath or Battle of Ben Edin.

He finds Fingal asleep on the heath, and Diarag, who was intimate companion of Fingal's, sitting beside him. Diarag, rather than disturb Fingal, encounters the King in person, and falls in Fingal awoke, found Diarag expiring at his side, and, not finding the perpetrator, pours out his lamentations over his lifeless body the action. 1 Sgeul th' agam air Fionn fior-ghlic 2 Air Mac Cumhail Mhic treunmhoir 3 Geisdachd re fuaim na srutha 'S re gutha nan eoin bheinne 4 5 Gan thuit suain nach robh gu h'eatrom Gan luidh sin air Fionn na Feinne Labhrin ruit am briathra' fionald 6 Ach air m' ullain fein a Dhiarag 7 'S baoth a ghloir a theiradh tusan Mhic Cannibh o' ghleann sleibhe Bithidh do cheann do 'd dhi mus fhalbh thu Led ghloir chinn air ro-bheag ceill 8 Sin ghluais fearg an da Dhrugair 'S b' fhaid a chluinte no glaothil Curra' 9 Tharruing iad sleaghan nimh Tharruing iad claidheamhan geur 10 Sin dar dhuisg Fionn na sleagha gabhi Thog e air a dheas-laimh Diarag 11 Ach air m' ullain fein a Dhiarag Nam dhidean dhomh do thearnadh Truagh nach be naodh naonar do 'm mhaithibh |
