Eiridh do chliu anns an ruaig,

Mar dharaig air Chromla nan sliabh :
'S iomadh cath is còmhrag geur
Tha 'feitheamh riut fhéin, a laoich;
'S iomadh lot o d' làimh sa' bheinn.
Cuir, Oscair, na féidh air fraoch;
Togaibh fleagh is slige fial;

Biodh anam an triath fo aoibhneas,
'S ar càirde an sòlas san raon."

Shuidh is ghabh sinn fleagh is dàn, Dh'éirich anam Cuchullin gu h-ard; Thill a neart do threun nan lann, Bha aoibhneas air aghaidh thall. Thug Ullin do 'n triath am fonn ; Thog Carull a ghuth air a mhagh; Chobhair mi na bàird air an tom, Mu charraid nan sonn's nan sleagh, Carraid 's na tharruing mi lann— Cha tharruing mi lann ni's mò; Dh'fhalbh mo chliu air gnìomh a bh'ann. Suidheamsa aig uaigh fo bhròn,

Uaigh nan cairde mòr nach mair.

Shiubhail an oidhch' air an fhonn; Thàinig madainn thar tonn le sòlas. Dh'éirich Fionnghal air an aird, Agus chrath 'na làimh an t-sleagh; Shìn e 'cheum mòr thar magh Léna, Is lean sinn an treun 'n ar n-airm,

Surget fama tua in fugâ-hostium,

Velut quercus in Cromla clivosâ:
Plurima proelia et certamina acria
Te manent, vir strenue;

Plurima vulnera dabit tua manus in monte.

Expone, Oscar, cervos in ericâ ;

Tollite cibum-convivalem conchamque genialem;

Insit animo principis lætitia,

Amicisque nostri gaudio fruantur in campo."

Consedimus habuimusque convivium melosque, Elevatus est animus Cucullinis sublimè;

Reversæ sunt vires heroi armipotenti,

Supervenitque lætitia vultui ejus exadversum.

Dedit Ullin principi carmen;

Extulit Carul vocem in planitie;

Adjuvi ego bardos in colliculo,

(Recinens) de colluctatione heroum hastarumque,

Colluctatione in qua strinxi gladium

Haud stringam gladium amplius;

Periit fama mea factis priscorum haud amplius par.

Assideo ipse sepulchro luctuosus,

Sepulchro amicorum magnorum, qui haud supersunt. Abiit nox inter cantiones;

Advenit aurora super fluctus cum lætitiâ.

Surrexit Fingal in clivo,

Et vibravit in manu suâ hastam ;

Extendit passus magnos per campum Lenæ,

Nosque secuti sumus virum-strenuum armati.

Sgaoil na siuil bhàn,” thuirt an righ,

"Gabhaibh gaoth na frìth o Léna.”

Dh'éirich sinn air tuinn le fonn ;
Bha sòlas nan sonn gu mòr

Air cobhar bàn an domhain ghlais.

"Expandite vela albentia," dixit rex, Excipite ventum saltûs ex Lenâ.” Consurreximus nos in fluctibus hilares; Fuit gaudium juvenum perquam magnum In spumâ albidâ profundi maris cani.*
