Muircertach Mac Earca immersed in a vat of wine, and burnt and mortally wounded, on the night of Samhain, on the summit of Cleitech, over the Boyne, as was said by Saint Cairnech:
Sín said, recounting her names:
- I am fearful of the woman
Round whom many storms shall move;
For the man who shall be burned
On the side of Cleitech, wine shall drown.- Sín is the woman that killed thee,
O, Mac Earca, as I perceive;
Numerous will her names be here
She will set one astray.- Not beloved is the woman
Whose name is Sín;
As for the King, fire shall burn him,
In the house of Cleitech wine shall drown him.- The King, Mac Erca, returns
To the side of the Ui Néill;
Blood reaches girdles in the plain;
Territories increase afar.
- Seven times he fights nine battles,
And long shall it be remembered;
He carried off the hostages of the Ui Neill,
With the hostages of the plain of Mumhan.
- Osnadh, Esnadh, Sín without blemish,
Gaeth garbh, and Gemadhaigh,
Ochsadh, Iachtadhsaying without falsehood
These are my names in every way.
Ailbhe, of Imlech Ibhair, quievit.
