- Sean-RuadhcánLá dá rabhas-sa i ngleann im’ aonar
Ag fiadhach go treán is mo choin lem’ thaoibh.
I espied a damsel with handsome features.
And she dressed most gaily beyond a Queen.
Bhí sgáil ‘na leacain ar dhath an Rós
Is ba binne a beoilin ná ceólta sídhe
Her love and friendship appeared through her nature
And I wished her daily to live with me.11.
Do ritheas ‘na choinnibh le chlaidheamh im dhóid dheas
Is d’ispreas do’n óig-bhean a gheaobhadh liom mar mnaoi
She gently answered “Kind Sir don’t tease me
For I’m intoxicated by Luther’s breed
Tá mo chlann-sa gach n-am dá dtraochadh
Le seal dá gCéasadh le Teachsasaí
But now if you’ll join me we will release them
And set Milesians at liberty.111.
Tá flíth frannchach laidir ag teacht fé árd braith
Inall thar sáile a chabharóchaidh linn
Our Catholic boys will without alarm
Break the accursed laws of old tyranny
Beidh Ó Conail Clúmhail a pléidhe de’n coulin
Is déanfar cúntas de’n cailín óig
The blessed jubilee from Rome we’ll soon have
And our hands made free in a few months more.(continues on next page)- Collector
