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;
