True learned patriot of the Cambrian line!
Thou hast awaked the Celtic from the tomb,
That our past life her records [might illume].
Engraved in every heart in lettered gold
Thy name remains: thy silent words unfold
To future ages what our sires had seen,
While others say, ‘A Gaelic race hath been.’
The first of the Gaelic addresses comes from Andrew Maclean, Tyree, who calls himself “the son of the Bishop of Argyll”:—
Aindra M’Ghileoin Fear an Cnuic, an tiridhe mac Easbuig
Earraghaoidhil, C.C.
