<div><lb n="5"/><p><span>gheallaigh', agus gan aici acht aon mhac amháin, </span>
<lb n="6"/><span>a bhí 'n-a ghaisgeadhach láidir, agus bhí grádh mór </span>
<lb n="7"/><span>aici air.</span></p>
<lb n="8"/>
<lb n="9"/><p><span>2.  Bhí bruidhean comhgarach d'á n-áit chomh-</span>
<lb n="10"/><span>nuidhe, agus oidhche amháin Shamhna, bhí an fear </span>
<lb n="11"/><span>óg amuigh ag cuideachta, mar is é sin gnás </span>
<lb n="12"/><span>na tíre; tháinig sé le taobh na bruidhne, agus </span>
<lb n="13"/><span>casadh fear de'n druing bhig amuigh roimhe.</span></p>
<lb n="14"/>
<lb n="15"/><p><span>3.  “Maiseadh,” ar sé, “caithfidh tú dul </span>
<lb n="16"/><span>síar go Connachta linn anocht, le cailín óg </span>
<lb n="17"/><span>dóigheamhail atá le pósadh ar thighearna </span>
<lb n="18"/><span>talaimh i mbárach do thabhairt go Béal na </span>
<lb n="19"/><span>Cruite.”</span></p>
<lb n="20"/>
<lb n="21"/><p><span>4.  Chuir so iongantas mór ar an Bhaoi-</span>
<lb n="22"/><span>gheallach óg, acht ní raibh dul uadh aige.  </span>
<lb n="23"/><span>Ars' eisean.  “Tá an siubhal fada agus an </span>
<lb n="24"/><span>bealach antráchtach, agus ní maith liom mo </span>
<lb n="25"/><span>mháthair bhocht do bheith léithi féin leitheid na </span>

<lb n="27"/>
<lb n="28"/><p><span>5.  Ars' iadsan, “Ní bhéidh an t-arán, atá </span>

<lb n="31"/>
<lb n="32"/><p><span>6.  Do ghluais siad leo go lúthgháireach go </span>
<lb n="33"/><span>huile, acht an Baoigheallach óg ag smuai-</span>
<lb n="34"/><span>neadh ar a shean-mháthair go brónach léithi </span>
<lb n="35"/><span>féin i mBéal na Cruite.  I n-aimsir ghirr, </span>
<lb n="36"/><span>bhí iad i n-áit chomhnuidhe an chailín óig.</span></p>
<lb n="37"/>
<lb n="38"/><p><span>7.  Bhí siad i ndáil óil agus aoibhnis, agus </span>
<lb n="39"/><span>campal mór daoine ann.  Bhí eagla orra </span>
<lb n="40"/><span>d'ionnsaighe isteach, acht d'oibrigh siad a </span>
<lb n="41"/><span>gcuid draoidheachta go tréan.  So mar bhí:  </span>
<lb n="42"/><span>bhí sguab leó déanta de fhraoch Sliabh na </span>
<lb n="43"/><span>Ros.  Chaith siad ar an chailín óg é, agus níor </span>
<lb n="44"/><span>luaithe bhí so déanta 'na thuit sí 'n-a cnap </span>
<lb n="45"/><span>'n-a codladh.  An mhuintir eile go lúth-</span>
<lb n="46"/><span>gháireach ag ól agus ag damhsa do phort a bhí </span>
<lb n="47"/><span>sean-phíobaire 'bhualadh suas go haigeanta.</span></p>
<lb n="48"/>
<lb n="49"/><p><span>8.  Thóg siad an cailín óg leó, go raibh </span>
<lb n="50"/><span>siad comhgarach do Bhéal na Cruite.  Ann-</span>
<lb n="51"/><span>sin mheas an Baoigheallach óg go raibh an </span>
<lb n="52"/><span>t-am aige-sean le hí chur tamall ar a </span>
<lb n="53"/><span>chúlaibh.  Thoiligh an chuideachta dhó so.  Nuair </span>
<lb n="54"/><span>bhí siad fá ghiobhta d'á áit chomhnuidhe, meas </span>
<lb n="55"/><span>an Baoigheallach go dtais'eanfadh sé a chuid </span>
<lb n="56"/><span>gaisgeadhacht' dóibhthe (dóibh), agus léim sé síos </span>
<lb n="57"/><span>agus an óg-bhean leis.  Níor thúisge rinne sé </span>
<lb n="58"/><span>so 'ná ghearr sé an chroch chéasta ar an </span>
<lb n="59"/><span>talamh i n-a raibh siad 'n-a seasamh.  Chuir </span>
<lb n="60"/><span>so fearg mhór ar an tsluagh sídhe, agus d'oibhrigh </span>
<lb n="61"/><span>siad a gcuid geasróga go héifeachtach, agus </span>
<lb n="62"/><span>thug tamall troda do'n Bhaoigheallach.  Ba </span>
<lb n="63"/><span>mhaith a mhaise dhó-san.  Thug sé comhrac </span>
<lb n="64"/><span>láidir do'n druing bhig, agus choinnigh an óg-</span>
<lb n="65"/><span>bhean.  Rinne siad easgoin nimhe dithi (di); </span>
<lb n="66"/><span>acht sin agus uile, ní bhfuair siad buaidh air.  </span>
<lb n="67"/><span>Annsin rinne siad bodhar balbh í, agus ar </span>
<lb n="68"/><span>imtheacht, ar siad:</span></p>
<lb n="69"/>
<lb n="70"/><p><span>9.  “A Bhaoigheallaigh bheadaidhe, díolfaidh </span>
<lb n="71"/><span>tú go daor ar son na hoibre so le ham!”</span></p>
<lb n="72"/>
<lb n="73"/><p><span>10.  Bhí iongantas mór ar a mháthair </span>
<lb n="74"/><span>nuair tháinic, is óg-bhean leis ins an chosamh-</span>
<lb n="75"/><span>lacht i n-a raibh sí so.  D'innis sé a sgéal </span>
<lb n="76"/><span>ó thús go deireadh, agus go deimhin, deimhin, bhí </span>
<lb n="77"/><span>brón mór ar an tsean-bhean (-mhnaoi); acht </span>
<lb n="78"/><span>thug siad modh agus urraim do'n chailín go </span>
<lb n="79"/><span>bliadhain an t-am sin.</span></p>
<lb n="80"/>
<lb n="81"/><p><span>11.  Oidhche Shamhna tar a éis so, bhí sé ag </span>
<lb n="82"/><span>siubhal comhgarach do'n bhruidhin, agus chuala sé </span>
<lb n="83"/><span>fear aca d'á rádh:  “Dá mbéadh deoch as an </span>
<lb n="84"/><span>chorn so ag an chailin óg Chonnachtach, do </span>
<lb n="85"/><span>bhéadh sí chomh slán folláin deagh-chroicneach </span>
<lb n="86"/><span>agus bhí sí riamh.”</span></p>
<lb n="87"/>
<lb n="88"/><p><span>12.  Ghlac an Baoigheallach uchdach, léim </span>
<lb n="89"/><span>isteach, sgiob an corn leis, thug na bhaile </span>
<lb n="90"/><span>é.  D'ibh an cailin óg deoch as, agus bhí sí </span>
<lb n="91"/><span>slán folláin.</span></p>
<lb n="92"/>
<lb n="93"/><p><span>13.  I n-aimsir ghirr, thug sé leis í go </span>
<lb n="94"/><span>Connachtaibh, go tigh a muinntire.  Bhí lúth-</span>
<lb n="95"/><span>gháir iongantach rómpa, agus thug siad í mar </span>
<lb n="96"/><span>mhnaoi do'n Bhaoigheallach óg.  Pósadh iad </span>
<lb n="97"/><span>agus rinneadh banais seacht n-oidhche.  Thearainn </span>
<lb n="98"/><span>siad go Béal na Cruite.  Rinne comhnuidhe </span>
<lb n="99"/><span>ann.  Thóg teaghlach mór mac agus thug fogh-</span>
<lb n="100"/><span>luim dhóibh; go ndearna siad fear dlighidh </span>
<lb n="101"/><span>d'fhear aca, fear leighis d'fhear eile, oide </span>
<lb n="102"/><span>sgoile d'fhear eile, captaoin luinge d'</span>
<lb n="103"/><span>fhear eile, agus fear talaimh d'fhear eile, go </span>
