The Legacy of Finn

It has been said that the survival of the world forward through time depends
on everyday someone somewhere mentions the name of Finn McCoul.
 

Caeilte a Fenian Speaks of Finn
If the brown leaf were gold
that the woods shed,
if the bright wave were silver
Finn would have given them away.

Oisin, son of Finn Speaks to Patrick
If it were the warrior Finn
who heard your little bell ring,
he'd have pursued you no doubt,
nor could you make a breakout.
If it were Caeilte heard that,
one who refused no combat,
he would have come rushing in
and ended your bell's ringing.
Had Conan the Fenian heard
the sound of this bell disturb,
though all earth's clerics were there,
all would die from his warfare.

Finn speaks on the death of his hound Conbecc
Grievous Conbecc's grim slaughter-
Conbecc - great was his sleekness;
I've seen no more trim stalker
of swine or deer for fleetness.
Painful Conbecc's grim slaughter
on great green billows heaving;
his end brought war's slim quarter;
his death, great was its grieving.
