Where is Gealchossa my love the	A
daughter of Tuathal Teachvar	B
I left her in the hall of the plain when I	C
fought with the hairy Ulfadha Return	D
soon she said O Lamderg for	B
here I wait in sorrow Her white breaft	E
rose with sighs her cheek was wet	E
with tears But she cometh not to meet	E
Lamderg or sooth his soul after battle	F
Silent is the hall of joy I hear not	E
the voice of the singer Brann does	G
not shake his chains at the gate glad	E
at the coming of his master Where	B
is Gealchossa my love the daughter of	H
Tuathal Teachvar	B
	-
Footnote The signification of the names in this fragment are Gealchossack white legged Tuathal Teachtmhar the surly but fortunate man Lambhdearg bloodyhand Ulfadba long beard Fichios the conqueror of men	I
	-
Lamderg says Firchios son of Aydon	I
Gealchossa may be on the hill	J
she and her chosen maids pursuing the	A
flying deer	B
	-
Firchios no noise I hear No	I
sound in the wood of the hill No	I
deer fly in my sight no panting dog	K
pursueth I see not Gealchossa my	C
love fair as the full moon setting on	I
the hills of Cromleach Go Firchios	G
go to Allad the grey haired son of	H
the rock He liveth in the circle of	H
stones he may tell of Gealchossa	G
	-
Footnote Allad is plainly a Druid consulted on this occasion	I
	-
Allad saith Firchios thou who	L
dwellest in the rock thou who tremblest	E
alone what saw thine eyes of	H
age	M
	-
I saw answered Allad the old Ullin the son of Carbre He came like a	A
cloud from the hill he hummed a surly	N
song as he came like a storm in	I
leafless wood He entered the hall of	H
the plain Lamderg he cried most	E
dreadful of men fight or yield to Ullin	I
Lamderg replied Gealchoffa	H
Lamderg is not here he fights the	A
hairy Ulfadha mighty man he is not	E
here But Lamderg never yields he	N
will fight the son of Carbre Lovely art	E
thou O daughter of Tuathal Teachvar	B
said Ullin I carry thee to the	A
house of Carbre the valiant shall have	H
Gealchossa Three days from the top	O
of Cromleach will I call Lamderg to	E
fight The fourth you belong to Ullin	I
if Lamderg die or fly my sword	E
	-
Allad peace to thy dreams found	E
the horn Firchios Ullin may	P
hear and meet me on the top of Cromleach	Q
	-
Lamderg rushed on like a storm	R
On his spear he leaped over rivers Few	E
were his strides up the hill The rocks	G
fly back from his heels loud crashing	S
they bound to the plain His armour	B
his buckler rung He hummed a surly	N
song like the noise of the falling	S
stream Dark as a cloud he stood above	H
his arms like meteors shone	I
From the summit of the hill he rolled	E
a rock Ullin heard in the hall of	H
Carbre	B
