De dardain tainic gan mairg

Ni ḟuair Mongan do tognam

Muru (of Fothain 1) cecinit
On a Thursday without woe
Mongan came to Carrait Eolairg
To converse with Comm Cille,
From the flock-abounding Land of Promise.
Mongan found not any help [25]
When he went to see Heaven,
But his head--great the profit!
Under Cohan Cille's cowl.'

87:2 On Lough Foyle.
