Manannan Beg was son of Leirr,

He was the first that e’er had Mann;

But as it seemeth unto me,

He himself was but a heathen.

’Twas not with his sword he kept her,

Nor with his arrows, nor his bow;

But when he would see ships sailing,

He hid her right round with a fog.

He’d set a man upon a brow,

You’d think there were a hundred there;
