Irish
Is daṁna cnead an ḃreaṫ so ar ‘Eirinn oill
fá ġallsmaċt ḃfear tar lear bár claon a cuing
gan daṁna flaṫa ag aitreaḃ scéiṁe an ḟu<inn>
aċt clann fá seac do scar sa céile cuim.
English
A cause of groanings is this judgment by which mighty Erin lies
’Neath the sway of foreign Galls, to whom her yoke hath been diverged,
Without a prince’s heir abiding ’mid the beauties of the land,
Having none but orphaned children parted from her bosom-spouse.
