A bráthair, ma dia seichi for iris

Poem as edited by Kuno Meyer in “Aed Dub mac Colmáin, Bishop-Abbot of Kildare”, Zeitschrift für celtische Philologie 9 (1913)

A bráthair,

mamad L1 dia seichisech, L1 for iris,

cia dú duit combág fri hÆd

manip gafann atibis ?

Indat cuirn búabaill do chuirn

is in cuirn Cúalann do chuirn ?

in Currech Lifi do thír ?

in tú úa cóicat ardríg

is in Cell Dara do chell ?

is in la Críst do choëll ?

[Translation]

Oh brother,

if you follow faith,

what right have you to compete with Æd

unless indeed you have drunk henbane ?

Are your drinking-horns of the wild ox ?

and is your ale of Cualu ?

is the Curragh of the Liffey your land ?

Are you a descendant of fifty high-kings ?

is Kildare your church ?

and is your companionship with Christ?
