Prophezeiung böser Zeiten
- Comaillfithir d'Éirinn
ídail dar a hora,
ingena mar altmi,
aicmi nachat gora.
- Anurrim do máthair,
maistrecha gu coiri,
athchomsán in deireóil,
senóir gan a gairi.
- Comaithches im chrícha,
carait sech in dorus,
nem[f]agbáil in measa,
na feasa do thomus.
- Cáirig ar na gabraib,
gairbi etir na bráthrib,
mintrebtha du therbód,
[is] dergár in cháithligh.
- Cetherna ac na conaibh,
trúag, a Dé, do tecgmais,
tarimt[h]echt in domnaig,
foglaigh for inn eaclais.
- Comluigi cen comall,
crosad móna is feada,
anurrim don abbaid,
na madaid re reba.
p.241
- Ferchoic cecha tigi,
maistretha isna ceallaib,
cort[h]air immon cumail,
mugaid im na fledaib.
- Arathur in domnaigh,
is do Día dia leges,
dá bonend ar firend,
ní mo chinend gebeas.
- Follugud na fogla,
forgráin for in aimsir,
coraigecht cen coibchi,
cen toirthi acht a taidbsin.
- Na indraici d'athcheód,
díchor flatha nemdha,
imdénam do gúachaibh1,
búachaill cacha selba.
- Na anflatha imda
imlúaidit in fingail,
samradh amail gemread,
aigred réna inbaid.
- Cen[n]aigecht ac cléirchib,
cesacht cach bí ar beathaidh,
cucela fo cánaib,
árem ar cach ndethaig.
- Fráech tened ar tengthaib,
trúag do sáebaib conar,
anaichnius na ngalar,
talam gan a thoradh.
- Imsóebad inn ecgna,
imadus na corand,
mac mo Dé do dimda,
gen timna da comall.
- Is mé [E]ocha éceas2
icluinimh ním-thola,
do damnaid na coladh
cen comall na coma. Co.
