Tadg Dall Ó Huiginn voor Sorley MacDonnell


Before him, wife of Conn,
Just as Rome did before,
That is the meaning of what you have heard,
Will bring her own mate from the plain of Monadh (Scotland)

Before him, MacDhomhnaill’s son ses,
Intent on bewailing her sorrows,
The fair generous Banbha,
In a vision before he fell to slumbering,

Alisdair’s son, to successour others,
Will come, as did Caesar,
This time to Bregia’s Boyne,
With hosts not easy to number,

As Caesar’s army captured Rome
Through Lorc’s field, with full muster,
So will come Caesar of the race of Coll,
This topmost weat ear of the glanning.

A wood will grow by the strand’s edge
Of masts of stately rigged vessels,
From the illustrious sweet lightsome Moy
To Binn Éadoir (Howth Head), son Éadghaoth.
