poem 66

Turloch Shilinde

1. Turloch Silinde seo indé,
   indiu is loch dianid lán lind:
   is sí Blonac ingen Túi
   ic sádud a crúi rosmill.
2. 5] Cid hí Silend rodaselb,
   is gním derb, is cobra gnáth,
   atá Silend cen a seilb
   dáig cech meirb is mettu, ar cách.
3. Cesfaid Silend, sáethar sír,
   10] is é a fhír, is cían in cur:
   biaid ic Blonaic loch na láech:
   bid hí Silend táeth don tur. T.
4. Sirfid Silend sair is síar
   dar cach slíab co roa a bun:
   15] tetha Silend, ná ba samda,
   adba ná ba tairsech tur. T.
5. Dar na mnáib fo roblai raith,
   cen gním daith, fo dóer-ban dul,
   cía rolensat lindi láech-ban,
   20] ropo sáethar troch dia tur. T.
