Though I happened upon this town.”

In the Irish MS. the kerne always says—

“In Dun Monaidh, in the town of the king of Scotland,

I slept last night,

But I be a day in Islay and a day in Cantire,

A day in Man and a day in Rathlin,

A day in Fionncharn of the watch

Upon Slieve Fuaid.

A little miserable traveller I,

And in Aileach of the kings was I born.
