Notes

This text is taken from Five seventeenth-century political poems which can be purchased via http://www.celt.dias.ie/publications/cat/.

Editor's note on the manuscripts and headings: G is faded and illegible in parts. N is practically identical with G. B occasionally gives a reading so different from that in any other manuscript that it suggests that the scribe copied from an imperfect version or wrote the poem from memory. M is a transcript of B. In the group C etc., I is a transcript of F and L a transcript of J. E and K, both transcribed by Micheal Óg Ó Longáin, are not identical. E resembles C etc. K, which omits odd lines, resembles O. In E, Ó Longáin adds a note at the end of the poem: Silim go bhfuil cor cam san aiste seo; ní on ughdar nó uaimsi úd sin innte acht on sgribhneóir do sgribh romsa í. Ní dhearnasa do leasughadh uirthe acht a sgriobh mar fuaras reomham i. In his later copy K, however, Ó Longáin did emend: where the line is apparently obscure in meaning, he either omits it or substitutes his own line, and he adds lines not found in any other copy. The heading in most manuscripts is Aiste Dháibhi Cundun, Aiste Dháibhi Cundun air Erinn, In E and K it is headed Cumha Caointe na hEireann 1691, with a later correction of the 91 to 50 in E.
