  1. (continued from previous page)
    Alas that my loved one her outlaw would injure
    Alas that he eer proved her treasons avenger
    That this right hand should make thee a bed cold and hollow
    When it deaths sleep it laid thee young Mairéad Ní Ceallaig
    And while to this love cave my deep grief, I'm venting
    The Saxons' keen bandogs my footsteps are scenting
    But; true men await e afar in Duhallow,
    Farewell cave of slaughter and Mairéad Ní Ceallaig
