abstract:

This is the seventh in a series of editions of the poems of Gofraidh Óg (son of Gofraidh son of Brian) Mac an Bhaird, who flourished in the 1640s and 1650s. It is in praise of An Calbhach Ruadh (son of Maghnas son of Conn Óg son of Conn) Ó Domhnaill and, in supplementary quatrains, of his wife, Eibhilín daughter of Báitéar Mac Suibhne. A quatrain in praise of Donnchadh (son of Niall son of Donnchadh) Mac Suibhne is also appended. An apologue likens An Calbhach’s struggle to that of Conn Céadchathach, forced at first to concede territory to hostile forces but ultimately triumphing and winning all. The poem was previously edited by Owen McKernan in Éigse in the 1940s. It is edited anew here from Stonyhurst College MS A II 20, with readings from National Library of Ireland MSS G 167 and G 299, Trinity College Dublin MS H 6. 7 (1411) and British Library MS Egerton 112, and with a full discussion of these and other extant witnesses.

abstract:

This poem of incitement offers a valuable contemporary insight into the thinking—or, at least, the propaganda position—of some of the leadership of the 1641 uprising. The main body of the text is addressed to the nobility (both Gaelic and old English) of Ireland as a whole, and the closing quatrains exclusively to the Gaelic nobility of Tír Chonaill. The poet, Uilliam Óg (son of Uilliam Óg) Mac an Bhaird, develops his argument clearly: he enumerates his audience's grievances, identifies the causes of their suffering, and urges them to take up arms to redress these wrongs; he places considerable emphasis throughout on the need for unity, and on the importance of their Catholic faith as a unifying factor. In language and metre the poem conforms closely to the norms of classical Modern Irish. It is edited here from National Library of Ireland ms G167 with introduction, translation and commentary.
