Introduction to the Senchas Már
Finn and the man in the treeprose

An Irish quatrain said to have been uttered by Cú Roí before he was slain: CuRu[í] ro chan in so in la ro marbad [attribution]: He amae fet gae geir / Osnad mór mórmaic Neill: / Muin ar mug, run do mnai, / mairg dogni cechtar n-ai (transcription by Meyer), “CuRui had dieses gesungen, da er getötet wurde: O weh! Sausen des scharfen Speers! / Heftiges Aufstöhnen von Niall’s grossem Sohn! / Ein Juwel einem Knecht (anvertrauen), ein Geheimnis einer Frau – / Wehe dem, der beides tut!” (German translation by Thurneysen).
