| A chlanna cuinn, cuimhnichidh Cruas an am na h’iorghuil Gu arinneach gu arronntach, Gu arch, gu allonnta’ * * * * * * Gu gruamach, gu grinnail, Gu grainail, gu gaisgail, Gu gleusda, gu geinnail, Gu gasda, gu guineach, Gu galghaircach, gu griongalach, Gu griosnamhach, gu gairlamhach, Gu glansgathach, gu geurlannach, &c. |
Race of Conn, be hardihood Remembered in the day of strife,– Repeatedly thrusting confidently, Strongly, nobly– * * * * * * Sternly, elegantly, Terribly, heroically, Eagerly, in a wedge-like column Gallantly, keenly, Causing lamentations, ardently, Inveterately, with sounding blows, Lopping off limbs, with keen swords. |
— Excerpt of poem by Lachlan Mac Mhuireach, Bard to Donald of the Isles, to inspire his troops before the Battle of Harlaw (1411).
