Up to Ben Gulbin went, resolved to hunt
The boar, whom arms had never yet subdued.
Though Mac O’Duine of brightest burnished arms,
Did bravely slay the fierce, and furious boar,
Yet Finn’s deceit did him induce to yield,
And this it was that did his grievous hurt.
Who among men was so belov’d as he?
Brave Mac O’Duine, beloved of the schools;
Women all mourn this sad and piteous tale
Of him who firmly grasped the murderous spear.
