Immacallam in Druad Brain ocus inna Banfháitho Febuil: Author: Unknown

p.339

In dem Sammelkodex H. 4. 22 der Bibliothek von Trinity College befindet sich außer den von Thurneysen Zu irischen Handschriften S. 31 und 53 erwähnten Stücken auch noch eine leider unvollstäandige Kopie von Imram Brain aus dem Cín Dromma Snechta.¹ Dieselbe beginnt auf fol. 50b. Unmittelbar vorher gehen die hier abgedruckten Verse, die fol. 50a auf das Ende de Forfess Fer Falgae folgen und mit den Worten asin l.c. nicc, d. h. wohl asin libur chetna hic, eingeleitet werden. Ich nehme an, daß das erste Gedicht von dem Druiden Brans, das zweite, wie die Handschrift angibt, von der Seherin Febals gesprochen wird.

Im bu mese, im bu mé
nad fessed a aircdine,
ni basi² fer fesso bic
co maidm form and imbiric.

A nubimmis i ndún Brain
ic óul isinn úargaim,
fíadum nenaisc triunu
dia luig mo fius³ co ardniulu.

Rosaig mo fius tiprait glan
hi fil sais curi cét mban,
seuít in banchuiri con bíth,
do fiur⁴ fudgébad bid már fríth.

Ar it amri int séuit glain

Finit. Amen. Finit.

Asan libur chétna.
