<lb n="425"/>
<lb n="426"/><p><span>The above caoineadh is taken from a MS.</span>
<lb n="427"/><span>by Father O'Leary, P.P., Castlelyons.  It</span>
<lb n="428"/><span>is not quite complete, for there are a few</span>
<lb n="429"/><span>rainn wanting here and there.  I have been</span>
<lb n="430"/><span>able to procure some from a member of</span>
<lb n="431"/><span>the Gaelic Leagure her, Diarmuid Ua</span>
<lb n="432"/><span>Ríoghbhardáin.</span></p>
<lb n="433"/>
<lb n="434"/><p><span>On page 6, after the rann ending</span>
<lb n="435"/><span>“I n-ionad an fhuachta fhlacais,”</span></p>
<lb n="436"/>
<lb n="437"/><p><span>should come an account of the sister's </span>
<lb n="438"/><span>arrival from Cork.  The sister, in her</span>
<lb n="439"/><span>lament charges the wife with faithlessness</span>
<lb n="440"/><span>or indifference, as shown by her falling </span>
<lb n="441"/><span>asleep.</span></p>
<lb n="442"/>
<lb n="443"/><p><span>(a)</span>
<lb n="444"/><span>“Mo chara 's mo laogh thu!</span>

<lb n="458"/><span>Lá do thórraimh.”</span></p>
<lb n="459"/>
<lb n="460"/><p><span>This explains the wife's defence of her</span>
<lb n="461"/><span>conduct in the lines —</span></p>
<lb n="462"/>
<lb n="463"/><p><span>Mo chara go buan tu!</span>
<lb n="464"/><span>Na creid-se uatha, &c.</span></p>
<lb n="465"/>
<lb n="466"/><p><span>The last rann but one should conclude</span>
<lb n="467"/><span>thus —</span></p>
<lb n="468"/>
<lb n="469"/><p><span>Gan dochar do Mháire</span>
<lb n="470"/><span>Agus ní le grádh dhi,</span>

<lb n="475"/><p><span>Eibhlin's sister Máire was married to</span>
<lb n="476"/><span>Balding.</span></p>
<lb n="477"/>
<lb n="478"/><p><span>The conclusion —</span></p>
<lb n="479"/>
<lb n="480"/><p><span>“Roimh é dhul isteach 'sa sgoil —”</span></p>
<lb n="481"/>
<lb n="482"/><p><span>evidently refers to the past glories of</span>
<lb n="483"/><span>Kilcrea Abbey, where Arthur O'Leary's </span>
<lb n="484"/><span>tomb is still to be seen.  But earlier in the</span>
<lb n="485"/><span>poem(page 4)we find</span></p>
<lb n="486"/>
<lb n="487"/><p><span>“'Neósad dóibh faoi mhairg</span>
<lb n="488"/><span>Gur fhágbhas i gCill na Martar.”</span></p>
<lb n="489"/>
<lb n="490"/><p><span>This seems inconsistent, but Diarmaid Ua</span>
<lb n="491"/><span>Ríoghbhardáin tells me that his father had a</span>
<lb n="492"/><span>rann or two describing the removal of the</span>
<lb n="493"/><span>body from Cill na Martar to Kilcres,</span>
<lb n="494"/><span>where it now rests.  Unfortunately, his</span>
<lb n="495"/><span>father cannot now call them to mind.  I </span>
<lb n="496"/><span>believe that there are still some persons in</span>
<lb n="497"/><span>the neighbourhood of Macroom who re-</span>
<lb n="498"/><span>member the whole poem.</span></p>
