ANECDOTA FROM IRISH MSS. MS., H. 3. 18, P. 867, MARG. inf. Aithne dam deirghedh mo leaptha, leaba chumang da criaidh fuair: sinn ag luighe ar in lucht romhainn, luch oile oruinn'san uaigh. I know that my bed is prepared, A narrow bed of cold clay: Where we shall lie on those that went before, Other folk upon us in the grave. Ib., p. 478, marg. inf. Uch! a lám, Ar'scríbis do memrum bán! Béra in memrum fá buaidh, Is bethair-si ad benn lom cuail cnámh. Alas! oh hand, How much hast thou written of white parchment! Thou willt make famous the parchment, While thou thyself will be the bare peak of a faggot of bones. Kuno Meyer.
