GLOSSES AND NOTES

[107]Obscure and probably corrupt. Cp. § 139.

220.Three things hard to guarantee and to become a hostage and to make a contract for: to go security for constructing the fort of a king, an oratory, and a caldron. For it is hard for a man of a family to be given with (?) his fellow.[108]

[108]I cannot make out the meaning ofdoberim fri.

221.Three things that are undignified for everyone: driving one's horse before one's lord so as to soil his dress, going to speak to him without being summoned, staring in his face as he is eating his food.

222.Three lawful handbreadths: a handbreadth between shoes and hose, a handbreadth between ear and hair, a handbreadth between the fringe of the tunic and the knee.

223.What is worst in a household? Sons of a bawd, frequent feasts, numerous alliances in marriages, abundance of mead and wine. They waste you and do not profit.

224.Three illnesses that are better than health: the lying-in of a woman with a male child, the fever of an abdominal disease that clears the bowels, a feverish passion to check evil by its good (?).

225.Three welcomes of an ale-house: plenty and kindliness and art.

226. Three services the worst that a man can serve: serving a bad woman, a bad lord, and a bad smith.[109]

[109]'bad land,' N.

227.Three things that are best in a house: oxen,[110]men, axes.

[110]'an ox,' N.

228. Three that are worst in a house: boys, women, lewdness.[111]

[111]'Or, perhaps, as in § 223, 'sons of a lewd woman,' only in that case we have no triad.

229.Three signs of boorishness: strife, and contention, and mistaking a person for another (?)[112]

[112]Or, perhaps, 'slight or superficial knowledge.'

230.Various kinds of mercenaries: ....[113]

231.Various kinds of dispensers: ....[113]

[113]As I could only offer unsatisfactory guess-work as a translation of these passages, I omit them altogether.

232.Three that are most difficult to talk to: a king about his booty, a viking in his hauberk, a boor who is under patronage.

233.Three whose spirits are highest: a young scholar after having read his psalms, a youngster who has put on man's attire,[114]a maiden who has been made a woman.

[114]Literally, 'who has doffed his (boy's) clothes.'

234. Four on whom there is neither restraint nor rule: the servant of a priest, a miller's hound, a widow's son, and a stripper's calf.

235.Three hard things[115]: to go security on behalf of a king or highly privileged person, for a king's honour is wider than any claim; to go security for battle, for no one is capable of any security for a battle save a king under whose yoke are seven tribes; to go security for captivity, except one who owns a serf.

Seven prohibitions: to go security for an outlaw, for a jester and for a madman, for a person without bonds, for an unfilial person, for an imbecile, for one excommunicated. Troublesome moreover is every security, for it is necessary for it to give sudden notice as regards every pledge which he gives, now beforehand, now afterwards.

[115]I do not understand the force ofdóib, 'to them,' either here or below aftersecht n-aurgarta.

236.Three wonders of Glenn Dallan[116]in Tirowen: the boar of Druim Leithe. It was born there, and Finn was unable to do aught against it, until it fell in Mag Li[117]by a peasant who was kiln-drying. Whence Finn said:

[116]Now Glencar, six miles to the north of the town of Sligo.

[117]The territory of the Tir Lí, west of the river Bann.

"Not well have we fed our hounds,Not well have we driven our horses,Since a little boor from a kilnHas killed the boar of Druim Leithe."

The Beast of Lettir Dallan. It has a human head and otherwise the shape of a smith's bellows. The water-horse which lived in the lake by the side of the church cohabited with the daughter of the priest and begot the beast upon her.

The Ox of Dil[118]is the third wonder. Its father came out of the same lake, and went upon one of the cows of the landholder who lived near the church, and begot the ox upon her.

[118]The oxen of Dil, daughter of Míl or Legmannair, are mentioned in the Dindsenchas, No. 44 and 111 (Rev. Celt. xv.).

237. Three wonders of Connaught: the grave of Eothaile[119]on its strand. It is as high as the strand. When the sea rises, it is as high as the tide.

The stone of the Dagda. Though it be thrown into the sea, though it be put into a house under lock, ... out of the well at which it is.

The two herons in Scattery island. They let no other herons to them into the island, and the she-heron goes on the ocean westwards to hatch and returns thence with her young ones. And coracles have not discovered the place of hatching.

[119]Cf.§ 197.

238.Three worst smiles: the smile of a wave, the smile of a lewd woman, the grin of a dog ready to leap.[120]

246.Three nurses of dignity: a fine figure, a good memory, piety.

247.Three nurses of high spirits: pride, wooing, drunkenness.

248.Four hatreds of a chief: a silly flighty man, a slavish useless man, a lying dishonourable man, a talkative man who has no story to tell.[121]For a chief does not grant speech save to four: a poet for satire and praise, a chronicler of good memory for narration and story-telling, a judge for giving judgments, an historian for ancient lore.[122]

[121]i.e., who has nothing worth hearing to say.

[122]See a similar passage in Ancient Laws i., p. 18, and in the tale called, 'The Conversion of Loegaire to the Faith' (Rev. Celt. iv., p. 165).

249. Three dark[123]things of the world: giving a thing into keeping, guaranteeing, fostering.

250. Three prohibitions of food: to eat it without giving thanks, to eat it before its proper time, to eat it after a guest.

251.Four elements[124]of wisdom: patience, docility, sobriety, well-spokenness; for every patient person is wise, and every docile person is a sage, every sober person is generous, every well-spoken person is tractable.

36.Dún Sobairchi and Dún Cermna are, according to tradition, the oldest stone forts in Ireland, having been built by Sobairche and Cermna, who divided Ireland between them, about 1500 B.C., the former placing his dún in the extreme north, the latter in the extreme south on the Old Head of Kinsale.

37.Slíab Cua (or, by eclipse after the neuterslíab, Gúa), 'the hollow mountain,' or 'mountain of hollows' (cúa= Lat.cavus), the native name for the Knockmealdown mountains on the borders of Tipperary and Waterford.

42.Dercc Ferna was demolished by the Norse in 930. Hennessy, in a note on the entry in the AU., says that it is supposed to be the cave of Dunmore, not far from the city of Kilkenny, but adds "apparently on insufficient evidence."

44.i. ionadha dona no nemhchonáig. Here we get the only gloss in L. Bangor is said to be unlucky, "because of its having been destroyed so often." It was frequently plundered by the Norse during the ninth century. As to the kingship of Mugdorn Maigen (now Cremorne barony, Co. Monaghan), it certainly was an ill-fated dynasty. Of the sixteen kings of this tribe who are mentioned in the Annals of Ulster, ten were put to death, of whom one (Suibne) was slain by his own brothers, while two brothers, Gilla Ciaráin and Máelmúaid, were slain within the same year (1020), the latter after having been king for but one day.

45.Beyond the fact that the three tribes here mentioned belonged to theaithech-thuathaor rent-paying tribes, I know nothing to throw light on the triad.

51.In Harl. 5280, p. 75a, marg. inf., Druimm nDrobeoil is said to derive its name from a horse called Drobel. (Ech Dedad. i. Drobel a ainm diatá Druim nDrobeoil.)

56.Here H. has the absurd etymological gloss futhairbhe .i. fothirbhe .i. tír mhaith na mbeo, nó ferann maith.

66.The first two items occur also in the list of proverbial sayings addressed by the Wizard Doctor to Mac Conglinne (Aisl. Maic C., p. 73), with the significant variation that 'a veteran in the abbotship' has become 'a veteran in the bishop's chair,' showing that the 'Vision of Mac Conglinne' was composed at a time when the diocese had superseded the old monastic constitution. As to the 'drop upon the altar,' though O'Neachtain's gloss explains it as 'rain' (bainne .i. fer[th]uinn anuas), the Rev. Mr. O'Sullivan has furnished me with a much more likely explanation. He thinks it refers to the spilling of the consecrated wine from the chalice, which is considered a most unfortunate accident. No one but a priest is allowed to touch or remove it.
