Irish poem. In Dobb’s summary of the text, the poem “tells a story about Mulling and his kinsman Muiccin of Maighin. Muiccin is in the book of saints in LL, Lecan, BB, and elsewhere. The gist of the poem is as follows. There was a scare of foreign invasion. (Such actually occurred in 638, according to the Four Masters) Mulling asked Muiccin to hide two-thirds of his books. He hid them in a cave known as Derc Ferna, where they were destroyed by wet. These books were probably the work of years and the handiwork of Mulling himself. It must have been a great blow. No one would blame him if he had cursed Muiccin, but when this latter implored pardon, Mulling, with real saintliness, forgave him.”
