PREFACE. 
 
 The present Volume, ^^ The Story of the 
 Children of Lir/' forms the third of the Series 
 of Reading Books in the Irish Language, 
 published by the Society. 
 
 Though by no means so modern, either in 
 its language or style, as the last work issued by 
 the Society, it can lay claim to a popularity 
 scarcely inferior to that in which the *' Pursuit 
 of Diarmuid and Gráinne " is held. In the ima- 
 ginative tales of Irish literature, partly founded 
 on fact, and partly on fiction, it is classed 
 amongst what are generally known as *^ U]aí 
 ciiu-MJe n-ó. Sgé^l^ije-ó.cc-ó.,'^ ix,^ ^* The Three 
 Sorrows of Story-Telling,'' the two others 
 being, "The Exile of the Children of Uisnech," 
 
VI 
 
 and ^' The Fate of the Children of Tuireann," 
 stories held in high favour with the bards, 
 story-tellers, and romance writers of Ireland. 
 
 Writing upon these stories, in the third vol. 
 of the '^ Atlantis/* p. 390, the late Professor 
 O'Curry, C.U.I., assigned a higher antiquity 
 to the two last mentioned than he did to the 
 ** Tale of the Children of Lir,'* remarking 
 that he had never met with any allusion or re- 
 ference to it in the ancient MSS. At the 
 same time, he was inclined to believe, and 
 many will agree with him, that the inter- 
 spersed little poems argued for it a far higher 
 antiquity than the prose would have induced 
 him to believe, and this led him on to 
 the assumption that the entire piece was, 
 perhaps, at one time in verse, and of the same 
 antiquity as the generality of what are called 
 *• Oisin's Poems." 
 
 Still, apart from its claims to antiquity, 
 the story is one so popular, and so widely 
 known, that there are few students of Irish 
 mythical lore who have not become ac- 
 
vu 
 
 quainted, in a general manner at least, with 
 the fortunes of the ill-fated " Children of Lir,'* 
 whose **tale of woes'' begins with that portion 
 of Irish history which marks the close of the 
 **Tuatha de Danann " rule, and the accession 
 of the Milesians to sovereign power in Ireland. 
 This change the Battle of Telltown effected, 
 and it is to this event the story at its opening 
 passingly alludes. From that time the Tuatha 
 deDananns had but a mythical existence, hav- 
 ing, after their disastrous defeat at Telltown, 
 voluntarily retired to the pleasant hills and 
 plains of Erinn, where amongst themselves 
 they still formally adhered to the titles, and 
 claimed the privileges of rulers. Their first king 
 under these altered circumstances was Bodhbh 
 Dearg, chosen at a convention, attended, as 
 the story relates, by chiefs of the Tuatha 
 de Dananns ^* from all parts of the five pro- 
 vinces of Erinn/' Lir of Sioth Fionnachaidh 
 repudiated their choice, considering that he 
 himself was better entitled to the distinction. 
 He left the assembly and departed home. 
 
Vlll 
 
 Notwithstanding this, he afterwards met his 
 truest friend in his successful rival, and the 
 death of Lir's wife placed it in the power of 
 Bodhbh Dearg to offer to him, as evidence of 
 his friendly feelings, Aobh, the daughter of 
 Oillel of Ara, in marriage. Lir accepted this 
 ofier of Bodhbh Dearg, and Lir and Aobh 
 were united. It so happened that their union 
 was but a short one ; for after the birth of two 
 sons, Fiachra and Conn, Aobh died, and Lir 
 ^^ would almost have died of grief were it 
 not for the greatness of love with which his 
 mind rested on his four children,'^ two others, 
 Fionnghualaand Aodh, having previously been 
 born. Bodhbh Dearg, anxious that the alli- 
 ance of friendship he had contracted with Lir 
 should not thereby be impaired, proffered to 
 him Aoife, the sister of Aobh, in marriage, 
 and Lir willingly accepted this second token 
 of the king's friendly disposition towards him, 
 and an union was immediately effected. For 
 a while all went well; but soon the jealousy of 
 Aoife was aroused by the affection with which 
 
IX 
 
 Lir and the Tuatha de Dananns regarded the 
 children of her dead sister Aobh ; and one 
 day, as they bathed in Loch Dairbhreach, 
 she transformed them, by her magic power, 
 into four swans, and doomed them to drift on 
 the lakes and by the shores of Erinn for the 
 space of nine hundred years, till the day 
 when the spell of their enchantment should 
 be broken. This, by a beautiful idea, sug- 
 gestive, it would seem, of the early Christian 
 date and authorship of the piece, is made 
 by the story, to coincide with the arrival of 
 Saint Patrick, and the dawn of Christianity 
 in Ireland. 
 
 The story proceeds to give their different 
 adventures, their feelings, their sufferings, and 
 finally concludes with their return to their 
 native place, and their restoration by a disciple 
 of Saint Patrick to their human forms, imme- 
 diately prior to their death. 
 
 With modern writers in this department of 
 Irish literature the story has been a popular 
 one. Upon it Thomas Moore, our national poet, 
 
founded the lines, ^^The song of Fionuala," 
 and Gerald Griffin included it, in a readable 
 and attractive form, in his *^ Tales of the Jury- 
 room. '* 
 
 The Irish text of the story is founded 
 upon the version which the late Professor 
 O'Curry supplied for vol. iv. of the " At- 
 lantis.^' He observed that he had great 
 difficulty in compiling it, in the form in which 
 it there appeared, none of the MSS. which 
 had the story having it complete, and those 
 upon which he was obliged to rely were, he 
 adds, *' rude and defective, and almost worth- 
 less, from their corrupt orthography.'^ It was 
 only after collating six MSS, in Dublin and 
 bringing up the orthography to the standard 
 of the best MS. he had, that he was enabled 
 to supply the deficiencies of which he com- 
 plained, and prepare a complete version for 
 publication. 
 
 The corrupt orthography to which O'Curry 
 alluded was not entirely eliminated from that 
 version, and some words found their way into 
 
print, the orthography of which was evidently 
 based on the pronunciation they had, and still 
 possess, in the language, as it is spoken. It is 
 obvious that these errors escaped O'Curry's 
 attention, as many of the same words re- 
 appear in their correct forms, and the work 
 would, no doubt, have been entirely free from 
 them had he lived to supervise his patriotic 
 labours. In this edition, besides correcting 
 these errors, the orthography has also, for the 
 greater convenience of the student, been as- 
 similated so that the same word may not 
 appear in different forms, as is the case in 
 the volume referred to. 
 
 O'Curry's notes and references are also em- 
 bodied in this edition. His English transla- 
 tion has also been availed of ; nor has it been 
 departed from to any appreciable extent, as it 
 was deemed sufficiently literal to be of use to 
 the student of Irish, and, at the same time, 
 interesting and readable to the general lovers 
 of Irish literature. 
 
 With the aid of the vocabulary ap- 
 pended to the work, in wdiich only those 
 
xn 
 
 meanings are given which they bear in 
 the text, the student, should he so desire, will 
 be enabled to obtain for himself a more literal 
 translation. He will also find, in many in- 
 stances, that the meanings in the vocabulary 
 have been illustrated by extracts from the text 
 itself, many of the passages selected for that 
 purpose being those for which a more literal 
 explanation was deemed desirable.

TEANSLATIO^^ 
 
THE FATE 
 
 OF THE 
 
 CHILDREN OF LIR. 
 
 1. Of the history of theTuatha De Danann 
 from the battle of Taillten down ;^ — [it is as 
 follows] : 
 
 2. They congregated from all parts of the five 
 provinces of Erinn until they were in one assem- 
 bly,* and in one place of council. And the chiefs* 
 of the Tuatha De Danann said : ** It is better 
 for us/* said they, ^^to have one king over us, 
 than to be divided as we are, serving various 
 kings throughout Erinn." 
 
 3. Among the chiefsof these bodies whoex- 
 pected to obtain sovereignty for themselves, over 
 the Tuatha De Danann, were Bodhbh Dearg,* 
 son of the Daghdha ;* and Ilbhreach^ of Eas- 
 Ruaidh ;^ and Lir of Sidh Fionnachaidh f and 
 Midhir the Proud of Bri Leith f and Aenghus 
 
40 
 
 Og, the son of the Daghdha, — but he did not 
 covet to seek the sovereignty of the Tuatha 
 De Danann, for he preferred being in his own 
 condition [i. e., remaining as he was], than in 
 that of king over the Tuatha De Danann. 
 All these nobles went into council together,^^ 
 except these five who expected to obtain the 
 sovereignty. And the conclusion to which 
 they came^^ was, to give the sovereignty to 
 Bodhbh Dearg, son of the Daghdha, for three 
 reasons, namely : for the sake^^ of his father; 
 for his own sake; and on account of his being 
 the eldest son among the Daghdha^s children. 
 4. When Lir heard that the sovereignty 
 had been given to Bodhbh Dearg, he did not 
 like it; and he left the assembly^^ without 
 taking leave, without a farewell to any one; 
 for he thought that it was to himself that the 
 sovereignty and lordship should have been 
 given; and although he did leave the as- 
 sembly, ^^ yet [it was not the less] Bodhbh 
 Dearg was proclaimed king ;^^ for no man 
 of the five took umbrage at not having ob- 
 tained the sovereignty but Lir alone. And 
 they resolved to pursue Lir, and to burn 
 his house, and to expose himself to [i. e., to 
 inflict on him Lir] wounds of spear and 
 
41 
 
 sword, for not having yielded obedience to 
 to him to whom they had given sovereignty 
 and lordship. ^' We shall not act upon that 
 counsel/' said Bodhbh Dearg ; " for that man 
 [Lir] would defend the territory in which he 
 is; and I am not the less king over the Tuatha 
 De Danann because he is not submissive to 
 me." 
 
 5. Matters continued thus between them a 
 long time.-^^ But at last a great misfortune 
 happened Lir, for his wife died after an ill- 
 ness of three nights. And this preyed greatly 
 upon Lir, so that he felt his spirit depressed 
 after her. And the death of this woman was 
 a great event in her own time.^^ 
 
 6. And this event was heard of throughout 
 all Erinn ; and it reached [to] the mansion of the 
 son of the Daghdha,^^ where the nobles of 
 the Tuatha De Danann were assembled to- 
 gether.^^ Bodhbh Dearg said: ^' If Lir chose/* 
 said he, ^' my assistance and my friendship 
 would be useful to him, since his wife does not 
 live (to him) ; for I have here the three maidens 
 of the fairest form and of make and best repute 
 that are in Erinn, namely, Aobh, Aoife, and 
 Ailbhé, the three daughters of Oilioll Arann,^^ 
 and my own three bosom-nurslings/' The 
 
42 
 
 Tuatha De Danann answered to liim that this 
 was good language, and that it was true. 
 
 7. Then messages and messengers were sent 
 from Bodhbh Dearg to the place at which Lir 
 was, to say that if he were willing to yield [the] 
 lordship to the son of the Daghdha, and make 
 alliance with him, that he would give him a foster- 
 child of his foster-children. Now, Lir thought 
 well of making this alliance ; and he set for- 
 ward accordingly on the next day with fifty 
 chariots, from Sioth Fionnachaidh; and he 
 took the shortest way, till he reached the 
 Sioth of Bodhbh Dearg, which was over Loch 
 Deirgdeirc;^' and he was bade welcome there; 
 and all the people were merry and cheerful 
 before him ; and they were well attended to 
 and supplied that night. 
 
 8. And the three daughters of Oilioll Arann 
 were on the same couch with the queen of the 
 Tuatha De Danann, for the wife of Bodhbh 
 Dearg was their foster-mother. Then Bodhbh 
 Dearg said : *^ Take thy choice of the maidens, 
 O Lir." ** I do not know," said Lir, " which is 
 the choicest of them, but the eldest of them is 
 the noblest, and it is she that I had best take." 
 "If so,'' said Bodhbh Dearg, '^Aobh the 
 daughter of Oilioll is the eldest, and she shall 
 
43 
 
 be given to thee if thou wiliest." " I do so 
 will/' said he. And Aobh was united to Lir 
 that night. 
 
 9. Lir was a fortnight in that mansion, and 
 then he took Aobh away with him to his own 
 house, that he might celebrate a great and royal 
 wedding feast 
 
 10. And in due time after this his wife^^ 
 became pregnant, and she brought forth two 
 children at a birth,23 a daughter and a son ; 
 Fionnghuala^^ and Aodh were their names. 
 And she became pregnant again, and brought 
 forth two sons ; Fiachra and Conn were their 
 names ; and she herself died at their birth. 
 And that preyed greatly upon Lir ; and 
 were it not for the greatness [of love] with 
 which his mind rested upon his four children, 
 he would almost have died of grief. 
 
 11. That news [soon] reached the Sioth of 
 Bodhbh Dearg ; and the people of the Sioth 
 raised three shouts loudly lamenting their 
 nurseling. And Bodhbh Dearg said : '* We 
 grieve for that girl, on account of the good 
 man to whom we gave her, because we are 
 grateful for his friendship and his constancy ; 
 however, our friendship for each other shall 
 not be rent asunder, for I shall give him her 
 other sister as a wife, namely, Aoifé»'' 
 
44 
 
 12. When Lir heard that, he repaired im- 
 mediately to espouse her ; and they were 
 united together; and he took*her with him to 
 his house. And Aoife felt honour and affection 
 for the children of Lir and of her own sister ; 
 and [indeed] every one who should see these 
 four children could not help giving them the 
 love of his soul. 
 
 13. And Bodhbh Dearg used often to come 
 to Sioth Lir, for love of these children ; and 
 he used to take them with him to his own 
 house for a long while, and then to let them 
 return to their own home again. And the 
 Tuatha De Danann were at that time consum- 
 ing the Feast of Age^^ in each Sioth in turn ; and 
 when they went to Sioth Lir, these four were 
 their joy and their delight, for the beauty and 
 symmetry of their form ; and where they con- 
 stantly slept was in beds in front of their father; 
 and he used to rise at early dawn of every 
 morning, and lie down among his children. 
 
 14. But the consequence of all this was,^^ 
 that a dart of jealousy passed into Aoife on 
 account of this, and she regarded the children 
 of her sister with hatred and thorough enmity. 
 Then she assumed a feigned illness, under the 
 influence of which she continued the greater 
 part of a year. And it is after that she per- . 
 
45 
 
 petrated an act of hateful treachery, as well as 
 of unfaithful jealousy, against the children of 
 Lir. 
 
 15. And one day her chariot was yoked for 
 her, and she took with her the four children 
 of Lir in the chariot ; and she went forward in 
 that way towards the house of Bodhbh Dearg 
 and Fionnghula wasiiot willing to go with her 
 onthe journey -^"^ for she knew by her that she 
 had some intention of ruining, or of killing 
 them; for, she dreamed of a design of trea- 
 chery and fratricide^s in the mind of Aoife. 
 But, however, she was not able to avoid the 
 misfortune and fate that were in destiny for her. 
 
 16. And so, Aoife set out from Sioth Fionn- 
 achaidh; and (on the way] Aoife said to her 
 people : '' Kill," said she, *^ the four children 
 of Lir, for whom my love has been abandoned 
 by their father, and I shall give you your own 
 reward of every kind in the world/' *' Not 
 so, indeed,'' said they; they shall not be 
 killed by us ; and it is an evil deed you have 
 thought of, and evil will it be to you to have 
 mentioned it/' 
 
 17. And when they did not consent to do 
 this, she herself drew forth a sword to kill and 
 destroy the children of Lir; but her w^oman- 
 
46 
 
 hood, and her natural cowardice, and the 
 weakness of her mind prevented her. And 
 so they went westward to the shore of Loch 
 Dairbhreach;29 and their horses were halted 
 there. And she [Aoifé] desired the children 
 of Lir to bathe, and go out to swim upon the 
 lake ; and they did as Aoife told them. And 
 as soon Aoife found them upon the lake, she 
 struck them with a metamorphosing druidical 
 wand, and so put them into the forms of four 
 beautiful perfectly white swans; and she made 
 this lay there : 
 
 ** Out with you [on the water] O children of 
 the king ! 
 I have deprived your descendants of [all] 
 
 good luck ; 
 To your friends your story will be a sad one ; 
 Your shouts shall be with flocks of birds. 
 
 [Fionnghuala]. — '' Thou witch ! we know thy 
 
 name. 
 Thou hast struck us down without a vessel ;^^ 
 
 [but] 
 Though thou mayest us send from wave to 
 
 wave, 
 We shall be sometimes from cape to cape 
 
 [i. e. on the dry land]. 
 
 I 
 
47 
 
 "We shall receive relief, — without conceal- 
 ment ; 
 We shall receive w^arning and grace ; 
 Even though we light upon the lake ; 
 Our minds [at least] shall be early [i. e. 
 range] abroad." 
 
 1 8. After that lay, the four children of Lir 
 turned their faces together towards the w^oman 
 [Aoife] ; and Fionnghuala spoke to her, and 
 this was what she said : " Evil is the deed 
 w^hich thou hast done, O Aoife, and moreover 
 an ill act of friendship it is for thee to ruin us 
 without cause ; and it shall be manifestly 
 avenged upon thee ; and thou shalt fall in 
 revenge for it; for thy powder for our destructian 
 is not greater than the druidism [druidic power] 
 of our friends to avenge it upon thee; therefore, 
 assign us some period and termination to the 
 ruin which thou hast brought upon us." 
 
 19. ^M shall, indeed," said Aoifé, ^^ and it 
 is worse for you to ask it of me ; namely 
 [the period I assign to you shall be this] 
 until the woman from the South and the 
 man from the North are united: that is, 
 Lairgnen,^^ the son of Colman, the son of 
 Cobhthach, that is the son of the king of Con- 
 nacht; and Deoch, the daughter of Finghin, 
 
4t 
 
 the son of Aodh^^ Alainn, king of Munster; 
 and no friends [are able], nor any power that 
 ye have is able to bring you out of these forms, 
 since ye have sought it [i. e. since ye have 
 called on me to declare it], during your lives, 
 until ye shall have been three hundred years 
 upon Loch Dairbreach ; and three hundred 
 years upon Sruth na Maoile,^^ between Erinn 
 and Albain; and three hundred years at lorrus 
 Domnann, ^^ and Inis Gluaire^^ of Brendainn ; 
 and these shall be your adventures henceforth." 
 20. And then repentance seized upon Aoifé, 
 and she said: *' Since I am not able to afford you 
 any other relief henceforth, ye shall retain your 
 own speech; and ye shall sing plaintive music, 
 at which the men of the Earth would sleep, 
 and there shall be no music in the world its 
 equal ; and ye shall have [retain] your own 
 direction [reason] and dignity [of nature] ; 
 and ye shall not be distressed by being in 
 [shapes of] birds;" and she spoke this lay : — 
 *^ Depart from me, O children of Lir, 
 
 [Ye] with the white faces, with the stammer- 
 ing Gaedhilg [i. e. but half articulate]. 
 It is a great disgrace to soft youths 
 To be driven by the rough wind [i. e. as 
 
 birds]. 
 
49 
 
 ^' Nine hundred years for you upon the tide, — 
 It was I that sent ye through treachery, — 
 Until ye shall be upon Inis Gluairé/^ 
 Upon the north-west side of red [i. e. red 
 flowering] Erinn. 
 
 *^ Advance ye out upon the Maoil, 
 (It were best for you to be obedient to me;) 
 Until Lairgnen and Deoch are united ; 
 It is a long time for one to be in pain ! 
 
 ^^ Lirs heart is a husk of gore, 
 Through many a victorious throw has he 
 
 cast ; 
 Sickness [i. e. bitterly sad] to me is the 
 
 groan of the active champion, — 
 Though it is I that have deserved his anger." 
 
 21. After this lay, her steeds were caught 
 for Aoife, and her chariot was yoked, and she 
 went on to the Sioth of Bodhbh Dearg; and the 
 nobles of the court bade her welcome. And 
 the son of the Daghdha asked why she had not 
 brought the children of Lir with her to him. 
 
 22. " I say unto thee/' said she [in answer], 
 **That you are not beloved by Lir, and that he 
 does not trust to send his children to thee, for 
 fear that thou wouldst capture them.'' 
 
 5 
 
50 
 
 23. *'I wonder at that," said Bodhbh Dearg, 
 " because these children are dearer to me than 
 my own children." And Bodhbh thought in 
 his own mind that it was treachery the woman 
 had played upon them ; and he accordingly sent^' 
 messengers to the North to Sioth Fionnach- 
 aidh. Lir asked what they came for. *' For 
 your children/' said they. " Is it that they 
 have not reached you with Aoifé ?*' said Lir. 
 *^They have not/' said the messengers ; " and 
 Aoife said that it was you that did not let them 
 go with her." 
 
 24. Melancholy and sorrowful was Lir at 
 these tidings ; for he understood that it was 
 Aoife that ruined or killed his children. And 
 his steeds w^ere caught at early morning of the 
 next day for Lir ; and he set upon the road, 
 directly south-west, until he reached to the 
 shore of Loch Dairbhreach. And the chil- 
 dren of Lir saw the cavalcade coming towards 
 them, and Fionnghuala spoke the lay : — 
 
 *' Welcome the cavalcade of steeds 
 Which I see hard by Loch Dairbhreach ; — 
 A company, indeed, powerful and mysterious, 
 Seeking us, following after us. 
 
51 
 
 '' Let us move to the ^hore, O Aodh ! 
 O Fiachra, and O comely Conn ! 
 No host under heaven can those horsemen 
 
 be 
 But only Lir and his household/' 
 
 25. After this poem, Lir came to the verge 
 of the shore; and he noticed that the birds 
 had human voices ; and he asked what caused 
 them to have human voices. 
 
 26. ^' Understand thou, O Lir, son of Lug- 
 haidh,''^^ said Fionnghuala, '* that we are thy 
 four children who have been ruined by thy wife 
 and by the sister of our own mother, through the 
 malignity of her jealousy/' ^' Is it possible to 
 put you into your own forms again r" said Lir. 
 '* It is not possible," said Fionnghuala, " for 
 the men of Earth could not relieve us, until the 
 woman from the South and the man from the 
 North are united, that is, Lairgnen, the son of 
 Colman, and Deoch, the daughter of Finghin, 
 son of Aodh Dubh,^^ in the time of the Tail- 
 ginn,^^ and of the coming of Faith and Devo- 
 ton into Erinn/' 
 
 27. When Lir and his people heard this, 
 they raised three shouts of grief, crying, and 
 lamentation, on high. 
 
52 
 
 28. '^Do ye wish,' said Lir, '* to come ashore 
 to us, since ye have your own senses and 
 your memory?" *'We have not the power,'^ 
 said Fionnghuala, '^to associate with any per- 
 son henceforth ; but we have our own lan- 
 guage, the Gaedhilge ; and we have the power 
 to chant plaintive music, and it is quite suffi- 
 cient to satisfy the whole human race to be 
 listening to that music; and so remain ye 
 with us to-night, and we shall chant music for 
 you." 
 
 29. So Lir and his people remained listen- 
 ing to the music of the swans, upon the brink 
 of Loch Dairbhreach ; and they slept com- 
 posedly by it that night ; and Lir arose at 
 early morning of the next day and he made 
 this lay :■ — 
 
 *^ It is time to depart from this place ; 
 I sleep not, though I lie down to sleep. — ' 
 To part from my beloved children*^ 
 Is what embitters my heart ! 
 
 *' Evil was the fate by which I brought over 
 you 
 Aoifé the daughter of OilioU Arann. 
 Had I known what you have got by it, 
 I would never have followed that advice/^ 
 
53 
 
 ** O Fionnghuala, and O Conn the comely ! 
 O Aodh, and O Fiachra of the beautiful 
 
 weapons ! 
 From the verge of the shore upon which ye are, 
 It is not yet time for me to depart from you." 
 
 30. So Lir went on from that place to the 
 Sioth of Bodhbh Dearg ; and a welcome 
 was made for him there ; and a rebuke 
 was given to him from Bodhbh Dearg for 
 not having brought his children along with 
 him. *'Alas!" said Lir, '' it was not I that 
 would not bring my children to you ; it was 
 Aoife, yonder, your own nursHng and the 
 sister of their mother, who has put them into 
 the forms of four pure-white swans upon Loch 
 Dairbhreach, in the presence of the men of 
 Erinn ; and [there they are swans, though] 
 they preserve their own sense and their reason, 
 their voice, and their Gaedhilg.*' 
 
 31. Bodhbh Dearg started at this news; and 
 he understood that what Lir spoke was true ; 
 and he gave a very fierce rebuke to Aoife, and 
 said : ''This treachery will be worse for thee, 
 Aoife, than for the children of Lir ; for they 
 shall obtain relief towards the end of time, 
 and their souls will be in heaven at last." 
 
 32. Bodhbh Dearg then asked Aoife what 
 
54 
 
 shape on earth she would think the worst of 
 being in. She said that it would be in the 
 form of a demon of the air. '* I shall put you 
 into that form then," said Bodhbh Dearg. 
 And, as he spoke, he struck her with a meta- 
 morphosing druidical wand, and put her into 
 the form of a demon of the air; and she flew 
 away at once ; and she is still a demon of the 
 air, and shall be so for ever. 
 
 33. As for Bodhbh Dearg and the Tuatha 
 De Danann they came to the shore of Loch 
 Dairbhreach, and they took up an encamp- 
 ment there, listening to the music of the swans. 
 And as for the Milesian Clanns, too,*^ no less 
 did they come from every point of Erinn that 
 they might take up an encampment at Loch 
 Dairbhreach in like manner; for historians do 
 not count any music or delight that ever 
 was heard in Erinn in comparison to the 
 music of these swans ; and they used to 
 be telling stories and conversing with the 
 men of Erinn each day, and discoursing 
 with their tutors and their fellow-pupils, and 
 with all their friends in like manner; and they 
 used to chant very sweet, fairy music every 
 night ; and every one who used to hear that 
 music slept soundly and easily, no matter what 
 
55 
 
 disease or long illness might be upon him ; for, 
 happy and delighted after the music the birds 
 chanted was every one who heard it. 
 
 34. Well, then, these two encampments of 
 the sons of Milesius and the Tuatha De 
 Danann continued to be around Loch Dairbh- 
 reach for the space of three hundred years. 
 And it is then Fionnghuala said toher brothers : 
 ** Do ye know, youths !'^ said she, ^' that ye 
 have come to the end of"^ your term here, all 
 but this night only ?" And distress and very 
 great sorrow seized upon the sons [of Lir] when 
 they heard that news ; for they thought it the 
 same as being human beings, to be upon Loch 
 Dairbhreach discoursing with their friends and 
 their companions, in comparison with going 
 upon the angry, quarrelsome sea of the 
 Maoil^^ in the North. 
 
 35. And they came early on the next day to 
 speak to their foster-father and their father ; 
 and they bade them adieu ; and Fionnghuala 
 made the lay : — 
 
 '* Adieu to thee, O Bodhbh Dearg ! 
 Thou man to whom all science has done 
 
 homage, 
 [Adieu] to thee, together with our father,^^ 
 Lir of the famous Sioth Fionnachaidh. 
 
S6 
 
 ^* The time has come for us, methinks, 
 To separate — after which we shall not 
 
 meet 
 Till the judgment come — pleasant com- 
 pany ! 
 It is not on a visit that we are going to you. 
 
 " From this day of our age we shall be, — 
 O ye heart-loved friends, our contempo- 
 raries, — 
 Without human voice near us, 
 Upon the raging Sruth na Maoile. 
 
 ** We shall go from that to be punished, 
 At the end of three hundred proper [i. e. 
 
 full] years ; 
 (Greater knowledge of our punishment we 
 
 shall have there), 
 Westwards to the point of lorrus Domh- 
 
 nann ; 
 
 " Three hundred years, without fail [we must 
 
 be], 
 In the west at the point of lorrus Domh- 
 
 nann ; 
 From lake to lake — alas ! the condition — 
 Until Deoch and Lairgnen unite. 
 
57 
 
 " Our beautiful garments shall be [but the] 
 Waves of the salt-water, bitter, briny ; 
 As the four comely children of Lir, 
 Without a night for us without it. 
 
 " Ye three brothers of once ruddy cheeks ! 
 Let [them] depart from us, from Loch 
 
 Dairbhreach, 
 This powerful tribe which has loved us ; 
 Sorrowful now is our separation/' 
 
 36. After that lay, they took to flight ; [fly- 
 ing] highly, lightly, aerially, until they reached 
 Sruth na iMaoilé between Erinn and Albain ; 
 and the men of Erinn were grieved at this, 
 and it was proclaimed by them throughout 
 Erinn, that no swan should be killed,"^' how- 
 ever great the power which they might have 
 to do it from that out. 
 
 37. It was a bad residence for the children 
 of Lir, to live upon Sruth na Maoile. When 
 they saw the shore of the extensive coast 
 around them, they became filled wúth cold, and 
 grief, and regret ; and they thought nothing 
 of any evil which they had before suffered, 
 compared with that which they suffered upon 
 that current. 
 
58 
 
 38. And they remained there upon Sruth na 
 Maoile, until one night a thick tempest came 
 upon them, and Fionnghuala said : " My be- 
 loved brothers/' said she, " bad is the prepara- 
 tion we make, for it is certain that the tempest 
 of this night will separate us from one another; 
 therefore let us appoint a particular place 
 of meeting to which we shall repair, if God 
 shall cause us to separate from each other." 
 '* Let us settle, O sister," said they, " an 
 appointed place of meeting at Carraig na 
 Ron,*^ for we are all equally acquainted 
 with it." 
 
 39. However, when the midnight came to 
 them, the wind descended with it, and the 
 waves increased their violence and their 
 thunder; and the lightnings flashed; and a 
 rough sweeping tempest passed all over the 
 sea, so that the children of Lir were scattered 
 from each other over the great sea ; and they 
 were set astray from the extensive shore, 
 so that not one of them knew what way 
 or what path the rest went. There came, 
 however, a placid-calm upon the sea after 
 that great tempest ; and Fionnghuala was 
 alone upon the current ; and she observed that 
 her brothers were absent [separated from her]; 
 
59 
 
 and she lamented them greatly ; and she spoke 
 this lay : — 
 
 '* In my condition it is woe to be alive ; 
 My wings have frozen to my sides ; 
 It is little that the furious wind has not 
 
 shattered 
 My heart in my body after [i. e* away from] 
 Aodh. 
 
 " Three hundred years upon Loch Dairbh- 
 
 reach 
 Without going into human forms, — 
 It distresses me more, and not alike [i. e. 
 
 not merely as much] 
 My time upon Sruth na Maoile. 
 
 ^' O beloved three, — oh, beloved three ! 
 Who slept under the shelter of my feathers, 
 Until the dead return to the living 
 I and the three shall never meet. 
 
 ** After Fiachra and Aodh, 
 And Conn the comely, — with no account of 
 
 them, — 
 It is a pity my remaining for every evil. 
 Woe to be this night in my condition/^ 
 
6o 
 
 40. As for Fionnghuala she was that night 
 upon the rock, until the rising of the day upon 
 the morrow, watching the sea in all directions 
 around her, until she saw Conn coming towards 
 her, with heavy head, and drenched feathers ; 
 and the heart of the daughter greatly welcomed 
 him ; and Fiachra came also, cold, wet, and 
 quite faint ; and neither word nor speech 
 of his was understood, such was the excess of 
 cold and hardship which he had suffered ; and 
 she put him under her wings, and said : '* If 
 Aodh would but come to us now, how happy 
 should we be !" 
 
 41. It was not long after that, when they 
 saw Aodh coming towards them, with dry head 
 and beautiful feathers ; and Fionnghuala wel- 
 comed him greatly ; and she put him under 
 the feathers of her breast and chest; and 
 Fiachra under her right wing ; and Conn 
 under her left wing; and she disposed her 
 feathers over them in that way. *' O youths," 
 said Fionnghuala, *^ though evil ye may think 
 this last night, many of its like shall ye find 
 from this time forwards." 
 
 42. The children of Lir after that con- 
 tinued*^ a long time there, suffering cold and 
 wretchedness upon the current of the Maoilé ; 
 
6i 
 
 until at last a night came upon them so cold 
 that never before did they experience any- 
 thing like the frost, and the cold, the snow 
 and the wind of that night ; and Fionnghuala 
 made the lay : — 
 
 *^ Evil is this existence ! — 
 The cold of this night, — 
 The greatness of this snow, — 
 The hardness of this wind. 
 
 *^ Where they have lain together, is 
 Under my graceful wings, — 
 The wave beating violently upon us, — 
 Conn and comely Fiachra. 
 
 "Our stepmother has put 
 Us, these four of us, 
 This night, into this misery ; — 
 Evil is this existence !'' 
 
 43. Thus were the Children of Lir for a 
 long time suffering a life of extreme cold to 
 the end of a year, upon the current of the 
 Maoilé, until at last a night came upon them, 
 upon the pinnacle of the Seal Rock ;^° and the 
 time was in the Calends of January ; and the 
 waters congealed, and each of them became 
 chilled in his place ; and as they lay upon the 
 
Ó2 
 
 rock, their feet, and their feathers, and their 
 wings adhered to the rock, so that they were 
 not able to move them from where they were; 
 and they made such vehement efforts with 
 their bodies [to move away], that they left 
 there the skin of their feet, and the feathers 
 of their breasts, and the tips of their wings 
 attached to the rock. 
 
 44. " Alas ! O Children of Lir,'' said Fionn- 
 ghuala, " evil indeed is our condition now, for 
 we cannot support the salt-water, and yet it is 
 prohibited to us to be absent from it ; and if 
 the salt-water enters into our sores, we shall 
 die ;" and she made this lay : — 
 " Moanful are we this night, 
 Without feathers covering our bodies, 
 And it is cold for our delicate soles 
 On the rough, uneven rocks. 
 
 " Bad was our stepmother to us. 
 When she played druidism upon us, 
 Sending us out upon the sea, 
 In the shapes of wonderful swans. 
 
 ** Our bath upon the shore's ridge is 
 The foam of the brine-crested tide ; 
 Our share of the ale-feast is 
 The brine of the blue-crested sea. 
 
63 
 
 ** One daughter and three sons, 
 We are wont to be in the clefts of rocks ; 
 UpoQ the rocks, so hard for one, 
 Our existence is moanful." 
 
 45. However, they came again upon the cur- 
 rent of the Maoil; and though the sea- water was 
 extremely distressing, and sharp, and bitter 
 to them, they were not able to avoid it, or to 
 shelter themselves effectually from it. And so 
 they were in that misery by the shore until 
 their feathers grew (anew), and their wúngs, 
 and until their sores were perfectly healed ; and 
 (then) they used to go every day to the shore 
 of Erinn and of Albain ; and they used to 
 go to the current of the Maoil each niglit, for 
 it was their original [i. e. they were obliged to 
 return to it as their] place of abode. 
 
 46. They came one day to the mouth of the 
 Banna^^ in the north ; and they saw a splendid 
 one-coloured cavalcade, with trained pure-white 
 steeds under them, constantly walking upon the 
 road directly from the south-west. ** Do ye 
 know yonder cavalcade, O Children of Lir?'* 
 said Fionnghuala. ^' We do not know them,'' 
 said they ; "but it is most probable that they 
 are some party of the sons of Miledh [Mi- 
 
64 
 
 lesíus], or of the Tuatha Dé Danann that are 
 there/' 
 
 47. They moved then to the border of the 
 shore, that they might be able to recognize 
 them; and when the cavalcade [on their side] 
 saw them, they moved towards them also to 
 meet them, until they reached the place of 
 mutual converse to each other. 
 
 48. The chief men of those who were in 
 that cavalcade were, Aodh Aithfhiosach, 
 and Fergus Fithchiollach,^^ that is, the two 
 sons of Bodhbh Dearg, and a third divi- 
 sion of the Fairy cavalcade^^ along wúth 
 them ; and that cavalcade had been seek- 
 ing [the swans] for a long time before that ; 
 and when they reached each other, lovingly 
 and friendly did they bid each other a truly 
 affable w^elcome ; and the Children of Lir in- 
 quired how the Tuatha De Danann were, and 
 particularly Lir, and Bodhbh Dearg, and their 
 people besides. 
 
 ' 49. " They are well ; in one place [i. e. 
 assembled together],^' said they, ^' in the 
 house of your father, in Sioth Fionnachaidh, 
 and the Tuatha De Danann along with them 
 there, consuming the Feast of Age,^^ merrily 
 and happily, without fatigue and without 
 
65 
 
 uneasiness, except for being without you, and 
 not having known where ye had gone to 
 from them, from the day upon which ye left 
 Loch Dairbhreach/' *' That is not the record 
 of our lives/' says Fionnghuala, " for much 
 indeed of evil and suffering and misery have 
 we endured on the tide of the current of the 
 Maoil to this day ;'' and she recited the lay : — 
 
 ^' Happy this night the household of Lir ! 
 Abundant their mead and their wine ; 
 Though there be this night in a cold home, 
 A company^^of the king's pure-born children. 
 
 *^ Our faultless bed-clothes are [but] 
 The covering of our bodies of wTeathed 
 
 feathers ; — 
 [Though] often ere now have we been clad 
 In purple, while drinking the cheerful mead. 
 
 *^ There is our food and our wine they are 
 The white sand and bitter brine ; — ■ 
 [Yet] often drank we hazel mead. 
 From round cups with four lips [i. e. corners.] 
 
 " These are our beds, and bare [beds] they are, 
 [but] 
 Rocks above the violent waves ; — 
 [Yet] often have been spread for us, 
 Beds of the breast-feathers of birds. 
 
 Ó 
 
66 
 
 " Though it be now our work [though now we 
 
 have] to swim in the frost, 
 Upon the current of the heavy resounding 
 
 Maoil,— 
 Often a cavalcade of the sons of kings 
 Was following us to Sioth Buidhbh. 
 
 " It is this that has wasted my strength, — 
 To be going and coming over the Maoil, 
 As I was never accustomed to be ; 
 And that no more I enjoy the sun in a soft 
 plain. 
 
 *^ Fiachra's bed, and Conn's place, 
 Is to nestle under the cover of my wings 
 
 upon the Maoil. 
 A place under the shelter of my breast hath 
 
 Aodh; 
 The four of us side by side. 
 
 *' The teaching of Manannan^^ without guile, 
 The conversation of Bodhbh Dearg over 
 
 Drom Caoin,^^ 
 The voice of Aongus,^^ the sweetness of his 
 
 kisses, — 
 I was wont to be without grief by their side.'' 
 
 50. After that the cavalcade came to Sioth 
 Lir, and they related to the nobles of the 
 
67 
 
 Tuatha Dé Danann the adventures of the 
 birds, and their condition. **We have no 
 power over them/' the nobles say, *' but we 
 are glad they are alive; for they shall obtain 
 relief in the end of time.'' 
 
 51. As to the Children of Lir, they went 
 towards their original home in the north upon 
 the current of the Maoil; and they were there 
 until the time they had to spend there expired ; 
 and then Fionnghuala said : ^^ It is time for us 
 to leave this place, for our time here has 
 come ;" and she sang this lay : — 
 
 " Our time has come here, indeed, 
 It is time to depart, 
 
 From this shore which we have frequented 
 Three hundred years of lasting light. 
 
 " To the point of Western lorrus. 
 It will not be easy to bear it, 
 Let us depart now without wandering. 
 Upon the support of the cold wind. 
 
 '* Without rest, without standing, 
 Without any shelter from the thick tem- 
 pests ; — 
 Unwelcome to us is what we have heard, — 
 Our term has come here indeed.'^ 
 
68 
 
 52. The Children of Lir then, accordingly, 
 left the current of the Maoil in that manner, 
 and they passed on to the point of lorrus 
 Domhnann f^ and there they were for a long 
 period of time, suffering cold and a life of 
 chilling, until [at last it happened to them that] 
 they met a young man, of a good family, [one 
 of the occupants of the lands whose name was 
 Aibhric],^^ and his attention was often attracted 
 to the birds, and their singing was sweet to him, 
 so that he loved them greatly, and they loved 
 him ; and this is. the young man who arranged 
 in order and narrated all their adventures. 
 
 53. But at last it happened that^^ the Chil- 
 dren of Lir, one night that they were there, 
 [at lorrus], experienced a night such as they 
 never experienced any night before or after 
 it, for the intensity of its frost and its snow; for 
 a flag of ice grew upon the whole of the cur- 
 rent between lorrus and Acaill,^^ and their feet 
 adhered to the ice flag, so that they were not able 
 to stir, and the brothers fell to moaning greatly, 
 and to lamenting greatly, and to grieving 
 intensely ; and Fionnghuala was checking 
 them, and she could not, and she recited the 
 lay : — 
 
 ** Pitiful the lament of the swans this night, — 
 
69 
 
 It is the ebb that has caused it, or it is a 
 
 drought — 
 Without cold-flowing water under their 
 
 breasts, 
 Their bodies will be short-lived from thirst. 
 
 '^ Without thin water, firm, and strong, — 
 Without a sea wave coming against their 
 
 sides ; 
 The merry great sea has congealed, 
 So that it is a beautiful damp-wet plain. 
 
 " O King who hast formed Heaven and Earth, 
 And who broughtest safe the six hosts,^^ 
 By thee be relieved the tribe of birds. 
 Let the strong be pursued till they become 
 pitiful/' 
 
 54. '* My brethren,^' said Fionnghuala, *' be- 
 lieve ye the truly splendid God of truth, who 
 made Heaven with its clouds, and Earth with 
 its fruits, and the sea with its wonders ; and 
 ye shall receive help and full relief from the 
 Lord.'' " We do believe," said they. " And 
 I believe with you," says Fionnghuala, " in the 
 true God, perfect, truly intelligent." And 
 they believed at the proper hour; and they 
 received help and protection from the Lord 
 
ro 
 
 after that ; and neither tempest nor bad 
 weather affected them from that time out. 
 
 55. And they were in the point of lorrus 
 Domhnann until the time they had to spend 
 there expired. A.ná then Fionnghuala said : 
 ^^ It is time for us to go to Sioth Fionn- 
 achaidh, where Lir is with his household, 
 and all our people.'^ '^ We like that/' said 
 they. 
 
 56. And they set out forward, lightly and 
 airily, until they reached Sioth Fionnachaidh ; 
 and they found^* the place deserted and empty 
 before them, with nothing but unroofed green 
 raths, and forests of nettles there ; without a 
 house, without a fire, without a residence. 
 And the four came close together, and they 
 raised three shouts of lamentation aloud ; and 
 Fionnghuala spoke the poem: — 
 
 *' A wonder to me this place,' — 
 
 How it is without house, without dwellings ? 
 
 As I see this place — 
 
 Uchone, it is bitterness to my heart, 
 *^ Without hounds, and without packs of dogs , 
 
 Without w^omen, and without prosperous 
 kings, 
 
 We have never heard of it as now it is, 
 
 This place — with our father. 
 
71 
 
 '^ Without drinking horns, without cups, 
 Without drinking in its lightsome halls, 
 Without cavalcades, without youths, 
 As it is to-night it is an omen of grief 
 
 " As the people of this place are (now), 
 Uchone, it is bitterness to my heart ! 
 It is clear this night to my perception, 
 That the lord of the house does not live. 
 
 *' O place, in which we have seen 
 Music and playing, and the assembly; 
 To me it seems a sad reverse, 
 As it is this night deserted. 
 
 *' The greatness of our misfortunes, we have 
 found, 
 From the one ocean wave to the other, 
 The like of which we have not heard 
 To have happened to any other persons. 
 
 '^ Seldom has been this place 
 Trusting to grass and to wood. 
 The man to recognize us liveth not, 
 To find us here, though to him it were a 
 wonder." 
 
 57. However, the Children of Lir were 
 
7^ 
 
 that night in the place of their father and their 
 grandfather, where they had been nursed ; and 
 they chanted very sweet, fairy music; and 
 they arose at early morning next day, and 
 they set out forward to Inis Gluaire of Bren- 
 dainn f^ and the birds of the country in 
 general congregated near them upon the 
 Lake of the birds^^ in Inis Gluaire of Bren- 
 dainn. And they used to go forth to feed each 
 day to the remote points of the country, namely, 
 to Inis Geadh^'' and to Acaill, and to Teach 
 Duinn,^^ and to the other western^^ islands in 
 like manner; and they used to go to Inis 
 Gluaire of Brendainn each night. 
 
 58. And they were in that state for a 
 long period of time, till the time of the faith 
 of Christ, and until holy Patrick came into 
 Erinn ; and until holy Mochaomhog^^ came to 
 Inis Gluaire of Brendainn. And the first 
 night he came to the island, the Children 
 of Lir heard the voice of his bell, ringing at 
 matins, near them ; so that they started, and 
 leaped about in terror at hearing it ; and her 
 brothers left Fionnghuala alone. 
 
 59, " What is that, O beloved brothers T' 
 she says. " We know not, say they, " what 
 faint fearful voice it is we have heard/' ''That 
 
73 
 
 is the voice of the Bell of Mochaomhog/' 
 Fionnghuala says; *' and it is that [bell that] 
 shall liberate you from suffering and from pain, 
 and shall relieve you according to the will of 
 God;" and she recited the lay : — 
 
 '* Listen to the Cleric's bell ; 
 Elevate your wings and arise ; 
 Give thanks to God for his coming, 
 And be grateful for having heard him. 
 
 '' It is more proper for ye to be ruled by him, 
 It is he that shall liberate you from pain, 
 Shall bring you away from the rocks and 
 
 stones, 
 And shall bring you away from the furious 
 
 currents. 
 
 '' I say unto you, therefore, 
 Make you a confession of proper accurate 
 
 faith ; 
 Ye comely four [three ?] Children of Lir, 
 Listen to the bell of the Cleric/' 
 
 60. The Children of Lir, therefore, were 
 listening to that music which the cleric per- 
 formed, until he had finished his matins. 
 
^' Let us chant our music now," said Fionn- 
 ghuala, ^^to the High King of Heaven and 
 Earth." And they immediately chanted a 
 plaintive, slow-sweet, fairy music, praising 
 the Lord, and adoring the High King. 
 
 6 1 . And Mochaomhog was listening to them, 
 and he prayed God fervently to reveal to 
 him who chanted that music; and it was 
 revealed unto him that it was the Children of 
 Lir who performed it. And upon the coming 
 of the morning of the next day, Mochaomhog 
 went forward to the Lake of the Birds ; and 
 he saw the birds from him upon the lake; and 
 he went to the brink of the shore where he saw 
 them, and he inquired of them : *' Are ye the 
 Children of Lir ?" he says. ^* We are, indeed," 
 they say. ''I return thanks to God for it," 
 Mochaomhog says, " for it is for your sakes 
 that I have come to this island beyond every 
 other island in Erinn ; and come ye to land 
 now, and put your trust in me, for it is here it 
 is in destiny for you to perform good works, 
 and separate from your sins." 
 
 62. They came to land after that, and they 
 put trust in the Cleric ; and he took them with 
 him to his own abode, and they were keep- 
 ing the canonical hours there, and hearing 
 
73 
 
 mass along with the Cleric. And Mocha- 
 omhog took a good artificer to him, and he 
 ordered him to make chains of bright white 
 silver for them ; and he put a chain between 
 Aodh and Fionnghuala, and a chain between 
 Conn and Fiachra ; and the four of them were 
 rejoicing the mind and increasing the spirits 
 of the Cleric ; and no danger nor distress in 
 which the birds had been hitherto, caused 
 them any fatigue or distress now. 
 
 63. He who was King of Connacht at that 
 time was Lairgnen,^^ the son of Colman, son 
 of Cobthach, and Deoch/^ the daughter of 
 Finghin, son of Aodh Allainn, that is, the 
 daughter of the King of Munster, was his 
 ♦vife. 
 
 64. And the woman heard the account of 
 the birds, and she became filled with affection 
 and fast love for them ; and she entreated of 
 Lairgnen to procure the birds for her. And 
 Lairgnen said that he would not ask them of 
 Mochaomhog. And Deoch pledged her word 
 that she would not be one night longer with 
 Lairgnen if she did not obtain the birds; 
 and she set out from her residence. And 
 Lairgnen sent messengers quickly to pursue 
 her, and she was not overtaken till she reached 
 
16 
 
 Cill Dalua/^ And she went back to the resi- 
 dence then ; and Lairgnen sent messengers 
 to ask the birds from Mochaomhóg; and he 
 did not get them. 
 
 65. Great anger seized upon Lairgnen on 
 that account, and he came himself to the 
 place where Mochaomhog was, and he asked 
 him if it was true that he had refused him the 
 birds. *^It is true, indeed/' said Mocha- 
 omhog. Then Lairgnen arose, and grasped 
 at the birds, and snatched them to him off the 
 altar, namely, two birds in each hand; and he 
 went forth towards the place in which Deoch 
 was; and Mochaomhog followed him ; but as 
 soon as he had laid hands on the birds their 
 feathery coats fell off them, and of the sons 
 were made three withered, bony old men, and 
 of the daughter a lean, withered old woman, 
 without blood or flesh. 
 
 66. And Lairgnen started at this, and he 
 went out of the place. 
 
 67. It was then that Fionnghuala said : 
 ^' Come to baptize us, O Cleric, for our death 
 is near ; and it is certain that you do not think 
 worse of parting with us than we do at parting 
 with you; therefore make our grave afterwards, 
 and place Conn at my right side, and Fiachra 
 
77 
 
 on my left side, and Aodh before my face ;" 
 and she spoke the poem : — 
 
 " Come to baptize us, Cleric ; 
 Take upon thee and arise ; 
 Clear away from us our many stains, 
 And all our faults, O companion ! 
 
 *' Pray thou the God who formed heaven, 
 That thou mayest succeed in baptizing us; 
 Let our grave be capacious, 
 And our feet at once to the altar. 
 
 ''Thus do I order the grave : 
 Fiachra and Conn by me on either side, 
 And in my lap, betw^een my tw^o arms. 
 Thou chaste Cleric, place Aodh. 
 
 " O Mochaomhog of the subtle speech. 
 Though grievous to me to part from thee, 
 Prepare thou hastily the grave ; 
 Depart quickly, and come in time/' 
 
 68. After this lay, the Children of Lir were 
 baptized ; and they died, and were buried ; 
 and Fiachra and Conn were placed at either 
 side [of Fionnghuala], and Aodh before her 
 face, as Fionnghuala ordered ; and theii 
 tombstone was raised over their tomb, and 
 their Oghaim names were written; and their 
 
78 
 
 lamentation rites were performed; and heaven 
 was obtained for their souls. 
 
 69. And Mochaomhog was sorrowful and 
 distressed after them. 
 
 ***** 
 
 70. And that is the fate of the Children of 
 Lir, so far.

 * The Battle of Tailltin (a place now called Telltown in 
 Meath) was that in which the Tuatha De Daiiann were de- 
 feated by the Milesians, losing the sovereignty of Erinn, 
 A.M. 3500. Tlie Tuatha De Datiami were the second colony 
 that occupied the countr}', defeating their predecessors, the 
 FirholgSy in the battle of Magh Tidredh of Ciinga (or Cong) 
 in West Connacht, and they themselves in turn met their 
 overthrow at the hands of the Milesians, in this battle of 
 Tailltin, losing their great chiefs Mac Cuill, Mac Cecht 
 and Mac Gréiné, the sons of CervTiait Mil-Bheoil (i. e. 
 Cermait of the honey mouth), who was the son of the great 
 chief, monarch, and magician, referred to also in the stor)-,

 existence in the hills and lakes of the country.

 • Midhir of Bri Leith. This Midhir was one of the sur- 
 viving chiefs of the Tuatha De Danann. After the, to them, 
 disastrous battle of Druim Lighean (now Drumleene, a town- 
 land in the parish of Clonleigh, barony of Raphoe (Rath- 
 Bhotha) and County of Donegal, a short distance to the 
 north of Lifford) which was fought subsequent to the battle 
 or Tailtin, and in which any hopes they might have enter- 
 tained of regaining their sovereignty over the island were 
 totally wrecked, these chiefs held a meeting at Brugh na 
 Boinney the great Tuath De Danann mansion, and their de- 
 liberations as to the future course they should pursue, were 
 presided over by the powerful Manannan. The advice of 
 Manannan was to the effect, that they should distribute and 
 quarter themselves upon the pleasant hills and plains of 
 Erinn. Bodhhh Dearg was chosen to be their king and 
 Mananfian their High Counsellor ; and the latter arranged 
 the different abodes for the nobles among the hills, Midhir 
 being appointed over Sith Truim^ a hill situated to the east 
 of Slane in the county of Meath. Bri Leith; from Bri^ the 
 daughter of the great sorcerer Midhir, Son of Indai, and 
 Liath ("the Gray;" of which word Leith is the genitive 
 form), the Son of Cealtchair of Cualan7i, in Wicklow, 
 who was her admirer. These lovers made an assignation 
 at Tara, but Midhir' s people prevented their meeting, and 
 the lady was brought back to her father's house at Sidh 
 Midhir^ ** where her heart burst, and she died." When 
 Liath heard of this, he said that, as Bri was his by right of 
 her o^vn consent, she should be for ever called his Bri Leith, 
 that is, Liath' s Bri. And as she was buried in the hiU of 
 Sith Midir, the hill ever after took her name and that of her

 could come to the kings. Goihhneann (or the " smith") held 
 a distinguished place in the Tuatha De Danann history 
 from his skill in the manufacture of the mihtary weapons of

 Ceann-tiré^ corruptly Cantire, means literally the head or

 The Sruth (or, correctly, Sruthar) of this Mael^ is the strong,

 Irish Nennius, p. 192, it is mentioned on the authority of 
 the Book of Leinster that this island was remarkable as 
 being the scene of one of the wonders of Erinn from the cir- 
 cumstance '* that the corpses that are carried into it do not 
 rot at all, but their nails and hair grow, and everyone in it 
 recognises his father and grandfather for a long period after

 " Literally << Group." 
 ^ i. e, foi-med and acted on that resolution. 
 ^ And the Milesian clam, too. It is strange that the 
 ancient Irish romance writers saw no discrepancy in associat- 
 ing the mortal-immortal Tuatha De Danann ^\áth the 
 mortal Milesians, down to the middle ages ; but, in fact, 
 they speak of them, even at the present day, nearly in the 
 same manner, for these are the *' good people" or " fairies," 
 the popular allusions to whom are so gieat a puzzle to the 
 ignorant of our history. The apparent discrepancy, however, 
 can be accounted for by their belief (real or pretended) that 
 the former did not, in fact, change their then corporeal for a 
 mere shadowy existence, but that they remained li\ing men 
 and women like the rest of mankind, only with the power of 
 rendering themselves \asible and invisible at pleasure. 
 ** Literally, '< Come to have spent your term," «&c. 
 ^'^ The Maoil. See a«^^, note '^). This was what Moore calls 
 *'the Moyle": 
 
 * * Silent, O Moyle ! be the roar of thy water, 
 Break not, ye breezes, her chain of repose, 
 While murmuring mournfully, Lir's lonely daughter 
 
 Tells to the night-star her tale of woes. 
 When shall the swan, her death-note singing, 
 
 Sleep, ^vith wings in darkness furl'd ? 
 
 When \vill heaven, its sweet bells ringing, 
 
 Call my spirit from this stormy world ? 
 
 <' Sadly, O Moyle ! to thy ^vinter-wave weeping, 
 Fate bids me languish long ages away ; 
 Yet still in her darkness doth Erin he sleeping, 
 
 Still doth the pure light its dawning delay. 
 When will that day-star, mildly springing, 
 
 Warm our isle \vith peace and love ? 
 
 "WTien will heaven, its sweet bells ringing, 
 
 Call my spirit to the fields above ? "

 ^ i. e. *' And adieu also to our father," &c. 
 *' That no Swa7i should he killed. This law or custom is 
 probably, at least, as old as this story; and it is also a still well- 
 known li\ing tradition, that the swan also sings its own dirge 
 at the approach of its natural death, in notes as plaintive and 
 sweet as the Ben-sidhe (Benshee). Even still it is considered 
 unlucky to kill a swan. I knew of a curious instance of ill 
 luck attributed to such an act. A man named Conor Griffin 
 killed eleven swans by one shot of a gun at night as he heard 
 them fly past his house, and took them for wild geese. He 
 had been previously a prosperous man, but shortly after, his 
 son was drowned in the lower Shannon, his boats were lost, 
 his wife died, and he never after enjoyed his former happi- 
 ness; and all these consequences were attributed by the 
 neighbours to the accident of his shot.

 *^ Literally : *' The Children of Lir, now, were for a 
 lengthened period, and for a long time suffering cold and 
 wretchedness upon the current of the Maoil, in that way, 
 until another particular night came to them, and they never 
 before found the like of it, or the greatness of its frost, and 
 its cold, its snow, and its wind."

 *' The Mouth of the Banna, that is, the mouth of the 
 river Bann, below Coleraine. Here we have again the 
 Tuatha De Danann and the Milesians brought together as

 istence.

 ^^ Teach Didiin, " Bonnes House." This was the burial-

 Milesian colony from Spain to the south coast of Ireland. 
 He was drowned, ■v\ithhis ship's company, at the Dumhacha, 
 or Sand-hills, in the west of Kerr}', where they were all buried; 
 and hence these sand-hills have ever since retained the name 
 of Teach Duimi, or Don7i's House ; but their situation has 
 been lost in modem times. I beUeve it was in the harbour 
 of Smerwick ; and that Teach Duinn was the ancient name 
 of the hill and headland, better known in more recent times 
 as Cnoc BrenaÍ7i?i (now called Brandon Hill). There can be 
 little doubt at any rate that the \^TÍter of this tale had Bran- 
 don Hill, the most western headland in Munster, in \'iew, 
 when he made it the uttermost limit of the flight of his swans, 
 from the other almost western point of Connacht.

 MEANS. 
 
 The object of the Society being the Preserva- 
 tion and Extension of the Irish as a Spoken 
 Language, the following means are proposed for 
 that end: — 
 
 1. To encourage a familiar use of the Language 
 by those who know how to speak it, and to offer 
 premiums for proficiency in the study of it. 
 
 2. To promote the formation of Classes wherever 
 facilities exist. 
 
 3. To encourage the establishment of Parochial 
 or other Associations. 
 
 4. To procure that the Irish Language shall be 
 taught in the Schools of Ireland, especially in the 
 Irish- speaking districts.

 furnish same at reduced prices to Classes and 
 Associations in connexion with the Society. 
 
 6. To encourage the production of a Modern 
 Irish Literature — original or translated. 
 
 In addition to the foregoing, the Society hopes 
 soon to be in a position to publish a journal 
 partly in the Irish tongue, for the cultivation of 
 the language and literature of Ireland, and con- 
 taining easy Lessons and Reports of the Transac- 
 tions of the Society. The Council will also take 
 such other measures as they may deem expedient 
 to further the object of the Society. 
 
 LOCAL ASSOCIATIONS. 
 
 Some Local Associations already in course of 
 formation have expressed willingness to be con- 
 nected with the Society, being anxious to encourage 
 union, which is a sure means of success. The 
 Council have therefore drawn up a series of con- 
 ditions which, while providing for united action, 
 will yet leave each Association free to direct its 
 own affairs. They also propose a ^' Plan of Eules" 
 for the guidance of persons willing to form Asso- 
 ciations.
