*)'The King of Leinster had long conceived an affection for Dearhhorgil, daughter of tho King of Meath, and though she was married to O'Ruark, Prince of Breffni, yet it could not restrain his passion. She in�formed him that O'Ruark intended to go on a pilgrimage, and conjured him to embrace that opportunity of conveying her to a lover she adored. Mac Murchad obeyed the summons, and brought the lady to his capital of Ferns. This led to a cruel war. The air of this song, the "Colleen dhas cruthon ua Moe", is one of the oldest and most characteristic of the beautiful Irish folksongs. |
