Description
Abstract (cited)
This poem was composed by Cú Choigeríche Ó Cléirigh at some point after the end of the 1641 war to give solace to Toirdhealbhach (son of Cathbharr) Ó Domhnaill, who seems to have been imprisoned at the time and at risk of execution. An edition of the poem from RIA MS 24 P 27 is accompanied by a translation, introduction and notes, and by a discussion of the transmission of the poem, of which more than twenty MS copies survive.
