Middle Irish poem (15 qq) attributed to (Urard) mac Coise and composed for Derb Áil (Der Fáil), who was a daughter of Tadc mac Cathail, king of Connacht, and the consort of Domnall úa Néill, high-king of Ireland (d. 980). The poem laments the death of her young son Áed. In the process, it cites several tragedies of bereavement from Irish history (one from Trojan history) and adds a religious dimension to her grief and consolation.
