+PREFACE
+
+
+The collection of Irish Triads, which is here edited and translated for
+the first time, has come down to us in the following nine manuscripts,
+dating from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century:--
+
+      =L=, _i.e._ the Yellow Book of Lecan, a vellum of the end of
+      the fourteenth century, pp. 414_b_--418_a_, a complete copy.
+
+      =B=, _i.e._ the Book of Ballymote, a vellum of the end of
+      the fourteenth century, pp. 65_b_-66_b_ (ends imperfectly).
+
+      =M=, _i.e._ the Book of Hui Maine, a vellum of the
+      fourteenth century, fo. 190_a_[1]-fo. 191_a_[2]. A complete
+      copy beginning: 'Ceand Erenn Ardmacha,' and ending: 'tri
+      hurgairt bidh a caitheam diescaidheadh (_sic_) a chaitheam
+      iarna coir a caitheam gan altughudh.' Then follow proverbial
+      sayings from the 'colloquy of Cormac and Cairpre,' such as:
+      'Dedhe ara ndligh gach maith domelar ithe [et] altugud. Anas
+      deach gacha fleidhe a cainaltughudh [et] a mochdingbail.
+      Caidhe deach samtha. Ni _hansa_. Gal gan forran. Deasgaidh
+      codulta frislige,' &c., ending: 'deasgaidh aineolais
+      imreasain. Ni d'agallaim Cormaic [et] Cairpre coruici sin.'
+
+      =Lec=, _i.e._ the Book of Lecan, a vellum of the fifteenth
+      century. The leaves on which the Triads are found are now
+      bound up with the codex H. 2. 17 belonging to Trinity
+      College. It is a complete copy beginning on p. 183_b_:
+      'Ceand _erenn_ Ardmacha,' and ending on p. 184_b_:
+      'ceitheora aipgitri baisi baig connailbi gell imreasain.'[1]
+      =N=, _i.e._ 23. N. 10, a paper MS. written in the year
+      1575,[2] pp. 98-101. A complete copy, the gap between pp.
+      100 and 106 being made up by pp. 7_a_-10_b_ of the vellum
+      portion of the manuscript.
+
+[1] By an oversight I have referred to this MS. sometimes by Lec and
+sometimes by H. In some cases both Lec and H will be found quoted in the
+variants. The same MS. is always meant.
+
+[2] As appears from the following colophon on p. 101: 'Oraoit uaim ar do
+lebor a hOedh in c_ed_luan iar n-aurtach Johannes. Baile Tibhaird ar bla
+maige mo mendad scribne hi farrad Se(a)ain hi Maoilconari. Mese
+(Dubthach) do scrib in ball soin da derpiris [et] rlae. Anno domini 1575.
+Guroiuh maith ag_a_t.
+
+      =H=[Prime], _i.e._ H. 1. 15, pp. 946-957. This is a paper
+      manuscript written by Tadhg Tiorthach O Neachtain in 1745.
+      It is a complete copy, with copious glosses in Modern Irish,
+      the more important of which are printed below on pp. 36-43.
+      At the end O Neachtain has added the following:--'Tri
+      subhailce diadha: creidhemh, dothchus agus gradh. Tri a
+      n-aon: athair, mac, spiorad naomh, da raibh gloir, mola[dh]
+      [et] umhlacht tre bith sior tug re don bhochtan bocht so.
+      Aniu an 15 do bhealltuine 1745. Tadhg O Nechtuin mac Seain a
+      n-aois ceithre bliadhna deag et tri fithchit roscriob na
+      trithibh [.s]uas.'
+
+These manuscripts have, on the whole, an identical text, though they all
+occasionally omit a triad or two; and the order of the single triads
+varies in all of them. They have all been used in constructing a
+critical text, the most important variants being given in the
+foot-notes. The order followed is in the main that of the Yellow Book of
+Lecan.
+
+There are at least three other manuscripts containing copies of the
+Triads. One of them I discovered in the Stowe collection after the text
+had been printed off. It is a paper quarto now marked 23. N. 27,
+containing on fo. 1_a_-7_b_ a copy of the Triads, followed on fo.
+7_b_-19_a_ by a glossed copy of the _Tecosca Cormaic_. It was written in
+1714 by Domnall (or Daniel) O Duind mac Eimuinn. Its readings agree
+closely with those of N. In Sec. 237, it alone, of all manuscripts, gives
+an intelligible reading of a corrupt passage. For _cia fochertar
+im-muir, cia berthair hi tech fo glass dodeime a tiprait oca mbi_, it
+reads: _cia focearta im-muir, cia beirthear hi tech fo glass no do
+theine, dogeibther occan tiprait_, 'though it be thrown into the sea,
+though it be put into a house under lock, or into fire, it will be found
+at the well.' In Sec. 121 for _cerdai_ it reads _cerd_; in Sec. 139 it has
+_rotioc_ and _rotocht_; in Sec. 143 for _gruss_ its reading is _gris_; in
+Sec.153 it has _aibeuloit_ for _eplet_; in Sec. 217 _tar a n-eisi_ for _dia
+n-eisi_; in Sec. 218 _lomradh_(twice) for _lobra_ and _indlighidh_ for _i
+n-indligud_; in Sec. 219 it has the correct reading _eiric_, and for
+_dithechte_ it reads _ditheacht_; in Sec. 220 it reads _fri aroile_ for
+_fria ceile_; in Sec. 223 after _ile_ it adds _imchiana_; in Sec. 224 it
+reads _gris brond .i. galar_; in Sec. 229 for _meraichne_ it has
+_mearaigheacht_; in Sec. 235 it has _mhamus_ for _mam_; in Sec. 236 _Maig
+Hi_ for _Maig Lii_; and for _co ndeirgenai in dam de_ it reads _co nderna
+in dam fria_.
+
+Another copy, written in 1836 by Peter O'Longan, formerly in the
+possession of the Earls of Crawford, now belongs to the Rylands Library,
+Manchester, where it was found by Professor Strachan, who kindly copied
+a page or two for me. It is evidently a very corrupt copy which I have
+not thought worth the trouble of collating.
+
+Lastly, there is in the Advocates' Library a copy in a vellum manuscript
+marked Kilbride III. It begins on fo. 9_b_^2 as follows:--'Treching
+breath annso. Ceann Eirind Ardmacha.' I hope to collate it before long,
+and give some account of it in the next number of this series.
+
+In all these manuscripts the Triads either follow upon, or precede, or
+are incorporated in the collections of maxims and proverbial sayings
+known as _Tecosca Cormaic_, _Auraicept Morainn_, and _Senbriathra
+Fithil_, the whole forming a body of early Irish gnomic literature which
+deserves editing in its entirety. It is clear, however, that the Triads
+do not originally belong to any of these texts. They had a separate
+origin, and form a collection by themselves. This is also shown by the
+fact that the Book of Leinster, the oldest manuscript containing the
+_Tecosca Cormaic_ (pp. 343_a_-345_b_), the _Senbriathra Fithail_ (pp.
+345_b_-346_a_), and the _Briathra Moraind_ (pp. 346_a_-_b_), does not
+include them.
+
+It is but a small portion of the large number of triads scattered
+throughout early Irish literature that has been brought together in our
+collection under the title of _Trecheng breth Fene_, i.e., literally 'a
+triadic arrangement of the sayings of Irishmen.' I first drew attention
+to the existence of Irish triads in a note on Irish proverbs in my
+addition of the _Battle of Ventry_, p. 85, where a few will be found
+quoted. A complete collection of them would fill a small volume,
+especially if it were to include those still current among the people of
+Ireland, both among Gaelic and English speakers. I must content myself
+here with giving a few specimens taken at random from my own
+collections:--
+
+      Three kinds of martyrdom that are counted as a cross to man,
+      _i.e._ white martyrdom, green martyrdom, and red
+      martyrdom.--The Cambray Homily (_Thesaurus Palaeohibernicus_,
+      II., p. 246).
+
+      Three enemies of the soul: the world, the devil, and an
+      impious teacher.--Colman maccu Beognae's Alphabet of Piety
+      (_Zeitschrift fuer celtische Philologie_, III., p. 452).
+
+      Three things whereby the devil shows himself in man: by his
+      face, by his gait, by his speech.--_Ib._, p. 453.
+
+      Three profitable labours in the day: praying, working,
+      reading.--Regula Choluimb Cille (_Zeitschr._, III., p. 29).
+
+      Three laymen of Ireland who became monks: Beccan son of
+      Cula, Mochu son of Lonan, and Enda of Arann.--Notes on the
+      Felire of Oengus (Henry Bradshaw Society, vol. xxix., p.
+      112).
+
+      Three chief artisans of Ireland: Tassach with Patrick,
+      Conlaed with Brigit, and Daig with Ciaran.--_Ib._, p. 186.
+
+      Three poets of the world: Homer of the Greeks, Vergil of the
+      Latins, Ruman of the Gaels.--Book of Leinster, p. 354_b_.
+
+      The three worst counsels that have been acted on in Ireland
+      through the advice of saints: the cutting short of Ciaran's
+      life, the banishment of Colum Cille, the expulsion of
+      Mochuta from Rathen.--Notes on the Felire of Oengus, p. 204,
+      and Tripartite Life, p. 557.[3]
+
+      [3] Where for 'wrong stories' read 'wrong counsels' (_sanasa saeba_).
+
+This triad is thus versified in the Brussels MS. 5100:--
+
+  Teora saoba sanasa    Leithe Cuind roc[h]aras-[s]a:
+  Mochuda cona clamhra[i]d     d'ionnarba a Rathain roghlain,
+  cur Coluim Cille tar sal,   timdibhe saeghail Ciarain.
+
+
+      Three things there are for which the Son of living God is
+      not grateful: haughty piety, harsh reproof, reviling a
+      person if it is not certain.[4]
+
+      [4] LB., p. 225 marg. inf., and Brussels MS. 5100, fo. 86_a_:
+
+  Fuil tri ni (a tri Br.)       dona (danach Br.) buidech mac De bi:
+  crabud uallach, coisced (coiccsed Br.) serb,    ecnach duine mad inderb.
+
+
+      Three things there are for which the King of the sun is
+      grateful: union of brethren, upright conversation, serving
+      at the altar of God.[5]
+
+      [5] Edinburgh MS. xl, p. 28, and Brussels MS. 5100, fo. 86_a_:
+
+  Fuil treide       dianab buidech ri greine:
+  oenta brathar, comrad (fodail Ed.) cert,   altoir De do thimthirecht.
+
+
+      Woe to the three folk in horrid hell of great blasts: folk
+      who practise poetry, folk who violate their orders,
+      mercenaries.[6]
+
+      [6] LB., p. 236, marg. inf.:
+
+  Mairg na tri lucht a n-iffirn uathmar anside:
+  oes dogni dan, oes choilles grad, oes amsaine.
+
+
+      Three things there are which do not behove the poor of
+      living God: ingratitude for his life whatever it be,
+      grumbling, and flattery.[7]
+
+      [7] LB., p. 238, marg. inf.:
+
+  Fuil tri ni      na dlegair do bocht De bi:
+  dimmda da bethaid cipe,          cesacht ocus aibele.
+
+
+
+
+The following modern triads I owe to a communication from Dr. P.W.
+Joyce, who heard them in his youth among the people of Limerick:--
+
+      Three things to be distrusted: a cow's horn, a dog's tooth,
+      and a horse's hoof.
+
+      Three disagreeable things at home: a scolding wife, a
+      squalling child, and a smoky chimney.
+
+      The three finest sights in the world: a field of ripe wheat,
+      a ship in full sail, and the wife of a Mac Donnell with
+      child.[8]
+
+[8] This triad comes from the Glynns of Antrim, the Mac Donnells'
+district.
+
+In our collection an arrangement of the Triads in certain groups,
+according to their contents, is discernible. Thus, the first
+sixty-one--of which, however, the opening thirty-one are no Triads at
+all--are all topographical; and among the rest, those dealing with legal
+matters stand out clearly (Secs. 149-172).
+
+When the collection was made we have no means of ascertaining, except
+from internal evidence, such as the age of the language, and a few
+allusions to events, the date of which we can approximately fix.
+
+The language of the Triads may be described as late Old-Irish. Their
+verbal system indeed is on the whole that of the Continental glosses,[9]
+and would forbid us to put them later than the year 900. On the other
+hand, the following peculiarities in declension, in which all the
+manuscripts agree, make it impossible for us to put them much earlier
+than the second half of the ninth century.
+
+[9] I may mention particularly the relative forms _teite_ 167, _bite_
+127, _ata_ 75, 76, 224, &c., _berta_ (O. Ir. _berte_) 109, 110, _fichte_
+(145), _coillte_ (166), _teite_ (167), _aragellat_ (sic leg. with N)
+171; the deponent _neimthigedar_ 116, &c.; _ato_, 'I am' (104), and the
+use of the perfective _ad-_ in _conaittig_ 77, 78.
+
+The genitive singular of _i-_ and _u-_stems no longer shows the ending
+_-o_, which has been replaced throughout by _-a_.[10] Now, in the Annals
+of Ulster, which are a sure guide in these matters and allow us to
+follow the development of the language from century to century, this
+genitive in _-o_ is found for the last time in A.D. 816 (_ratho,
+Ailello_). Thence onward the ending _-a_ is always found.
+
+[10] _ratha_ 56, _foglada_ 92, _flatha_ 151, 248, 253; _dara_ 4, 34;
+_Ela_ 31, 35, 44 (cf. _Lainne Ela_, AU. 816); _atha_ 50, _betha_ 82, 83,
+249.
+
+The place-name _Lusca_, 'Lusk,' is originally an _n-_stem making its
+genitive _Luscan_. This is the regular form in the Annals of Ulster till
+the year 880, from which date onward it is always _Lusca_ (A.D. 916,
+928, &c.). In our text (Sec. 46) all the manuscripts read _Lusca_.
+
+In slender _io-_stems the dative singular in Old-Irish ends in _-iu_. I
+find this form in the Annals of Ulster for the last time in A.D. 816
+(_Gertidiu_). Thence onward it is always _-i_, as in our text (_hi
+Cuailgni_ 43, _d'uisci_ 64).
+
+The nasal stem _leimm_ makes its nom. plur. _leimmen_ in Old-Irish. In Sec.
+32 we find instead (_tair-_)_leme_. So also _foimrimm_ makes its nom.
+plural _foimrimme_ in Sec. 163.
+
+The word _dorus_ is neuter in Old-Irish, making its nom. acc. plural
+either _dorus_ or _doirsea_. In our text (Secs. 173, 174) the word is
+masculine, and makes its nom. plural _doruis_.
+
+_Druimm_ is an _i-_stem in Old-Irish, but in the later language passes
+into an _n-_stem. In Sec. 51 we find the nom. pl. _drommanna_.
+
+The neuter _grad_ in Sec. 166 makes its nom. plur. _gruda_ for O. Ir.
+_grad_.[11]
+
+[11] The infinitive _bith_ for O. Ir. _buith_ (91), the dative _cinn_
+for O. Ir. _ciunn_ (98, 135), the nom. pl. _sligthi_ for O. Ir. _sligid_
+(which I have restored in Sec. 49), the confusion between _do_ and _di_
+(e.g. 83), and other details are probably due to the Middle-and
+Modern-Irish transcribers.
+
+On linguistic grounds, then, I should say that our collection was made
+some time during the second half of the ninth century. That it cannot be
+dated earlier is also apparent from another consideration. Professor
+Zimmer has taught us to search in every ancient Irish text for
+indications of its having been composed either before or after the
+Viking period. I find no words from the Norse language in the Triads,
+or, if there are any, they have escaped me; but there are two distinct
+references to the Viking age. In Sec. 232, a Viking in his hauberk (_Gall
+ina luirig_) is mentioned as one of three that are hardest to talk to;
+and, in Sec. 44, Bangor in Co. Down is called unlucky or unfortunate, no
+doubt, as the gloss says, because of the repeated plunderings and
+destruction of its monastery by the Norse during the early part of the
+ninth century (A.D. 823, 824).
+
+In endeavouring to trace the origin of the Triad as a form of literary
+composition among the Irish, one must remember that it is but one of
+several similar enumerative sayings common in Irish literature. Thus the
+collection here printed contains three duads (124. 133. 134), seven
+tetrads (223. 230. 234. 244. 248. 251. 252), and one heptad (235). A
+whole Irish law-book is composed in the form of heptads;[12] while
+triads, tetrads, &c., occur in every part of the Laws.[13] Such
+schematic arrangements were of course a great aid to memory.
+
+[12] See _Ancient Laws of Ireland_, vol, v., pp. 118-373.
+
+[13] Thus in the first volume of the Laws we find duads on p. 228, 15;
+294, 27; triads on p. 50, 9. 27; 230, 4; 264, 20; 288, 28; tetrads 40,
+21; 54, 7; 64, 1; 240, 24; 256, 4, &c.; 272, 25; 274, 3, &c.; pentads
+30, 21; 50, 32; 90, 29; 102, 6; hexads 68, 11; 248, 7: a heptad 134, 9;
+an ennead 16, 20.
+
+If the Triad stood alone, the idea that it owes its origin to the effect
+of the doctrine of the Trinity upon the Celtic imagination might
+reasonably be entertained. The fact that this doctrine has led to many
+peculiar phenomena in Irish folklore, literature, and art has frequently
+been pointed out. Nor would I deny that the sacred character of the
+number three, together with the greater facility of composition, may
+have contributed to the popularity of the Triad, which is certainly the
+most common among the various numerical sayings as well as the only one
+that has survived to the present day.
+
+However that may be, I believe that the model upon which the Irish
+triads, tetrads, pentads, &c., were formed is to be sought in those
+enumerative sayings--_Zahlensprueche_, as the German technical term
+is--of Hebrew poetry to be found in several books of the Old Testament.
+I am indebted to my friend the Rev. Carl Grueneisen for the following
+list of such sayings, which I quote in the Vulgate version.
+
+      DUADS AND TRIADS.
+
+      Ecclus. 23: 21, Duo genera abundant in peccatis, et tertium
+      adducit iram et perditionem, &c.
+
+      _Ib._ 26: 25, In duobus contristatum est cor meum, et in
+      tertio iracundia mihi advenit: 26 vir bellator deficiens per
+      inopiam, et vir sensatus contemptus, 27 et qui transgreditur
+      a iustitia ad peccatum, Deus paravit eum ad romphaeam.
+
+      _Ib._ 26: 28, Duae species difficiles et periculosae mihi
+      apparuerunt: difficile exuitur negotians a neglegentia, et
+      non iustificabitur caupo a peccatis labiorum.
+
+
+      TRIADS AND TETRADS.
+
+      Proverb. 30: 15, Tria sunt insaturabilia, et quartum quod
+      nunquam dicit: sufficit. 16 Inferuns, et os vulvae, et terra
+      quae non satiatur aqua; ignis vero nunquam dicit: sufficit.
+
+      _Ib._ 30: 18, Tria sunt difficilia mihi, et quartum penitus
+      ignoro: 19 viam aquilae in caelo, viam colubri super petram,
+      viam navis in medio mari, et viam viri in adolescentia.
+
+      _Ib._ 30: 21, Per tria movetur terra, et quartum non potest
+      sustinere: 22 per servum cum regnaverit: per stultum cum
+      saturatus fuerit cibo, 23 per odiosam mulierem cum in
+      matrimonio fuerit assumpta, et per ancillam cum fuerit heres
+      dominae suae.
+
+      _Ib._ 30: 29, Tria sunt quae bene gradiuntur, et quartum
+      quod incedit feliciter: 30 leo fortissimus bestiarum, ad
+      nullius pavebit occursum, 31 gallus succinctus lumbos, et
+      aries, nec est rex qui resistat ei.
+
+      Ecclus. 26: 5, A tribus timuit cor meum, et in quarto facies
+      mea metuit: 6 delaturam civitatis, et collectionem populi, 7
+      calumniam mendacem, super montem, omnia gravia, 8 dolor
+      cordis et luctus mulier zelotypa.
+
+
+      A TETRAD.
+
+      Proverb. 30, 24: Quattuor sunt minima terrae, et ipsa sunt
+      sapientiora sapientibus: 25 formicae, populus infirmus qui
+      praeparat in messe cibum sibi, 26 lepusculus, plebs invalida
+      qui collocat in petra cubile suum.
+
+
+      A HEXAD AND HEPTAD.

+      Proverb. 6. 16 Sex sunt quae odit Dominus, et septimum
+      detestatur anima eius: 17 oculos sublimes, linguam mendacem,
+      manus effundentes innoxium sanguinem, 18 cor machinans
+      cogitationes pessimas, pedes veloces ad currendum in malum,
+      19 proferentem mendacia testem fallacem, et eum qui seminat
+      intra fratres discordias.
+
+
+      AN ENNEAD.
+
+      Ecclus. 25, 9: Novem insuspicabilia cordis magnificavi, et
+      decimum dicam in lingua hominibus, &c.
+
+The question arises whether these biblical sayings were the direct
+source from which the Irish imitations are derived, or whether the Irish
+became acquainted with the numerical Proverb through the medium of Greek
+and Latin literature. As the Irish clerics ever since the days of St.
+Patrick were diligent students of the Bible, there would be nothing
+strange in the former assumption. But there exists at least one early
+document which renders the latter equally possible. Under the title of
+_Proverbia Grecorum_ we possess a collection of sayings translated by
+some Irish scholar in Ireland from the Greek into Latin before the
+seventh century.[14] Among them we find three triads,[15] two
+pentads,[16] three heptads,[17] and two octads.[18]
+
+[14] This is the opinion of S. Hellmann, their latest editor. See his
+_Sedulius Scottus_, p. 135, in Traube's _Quellen und Untersuchungen zur
+lateinischen Philologie des Mittelalters_, vol. i.: Muenchen, 1906.
+
+[15] A. 39, 41. B. 5.
+
+[16] A. 52.
+
+[17] A. 54. B. 3, 7.
+
+[18] B. 1, 2.
+
+As examples I select the following two triads:--
+
+      Tres bacheriosi(?) sunt: terribilis bellator armatus
+      promptusque ad praelium, leo de spelunca quando praedam
+      devorat, aper ferus de silva quando furore in aliquem
+      irruit.
+
+      Tres sunt imperfecti qui numquam ad perfectionem vitae
+      disciplinae pervenire possunt; tunc enim a vitiis recedunt,
+      quando mala facere non possunt. Antiquus nauta qui multis
+      annis seductis onmibus emere et vendere poterat; senex
+      auriga qui in curribus et in equis Deo derelicto vana cura
+      atque conversatione meditatur atque utitur; vetula ancilla
+      quae dominae suae subdole in omnibus rebus quae cottidiano
+      ministerio perficiuntur male retribuit.
+
+Triads occur sporadically in the literature of most other nations, and
+have occasionally been collected. But I am not aware that this kind of
+composition has ever attained the same popularity elsewhere as in Wales
+and Ireland, where the manufacture of triads seems at times almost to
+have become a sport.
+
+The wittiest triads are undoubtedly those in which the third item
+contains an anticlimax. Two perfect examples of this kind were composed
+by Heine when he tells the foreigner visiting Germany that he need but
+know three words of the language: _Brot_, _Kuss_, _Ehre_; and in his
+often quoted witticism: _Der Franzose liebt die Freiheit wie seine
+Braut, der Englaender wie seine Frau, der Deutsche wie seine alte
+Grossmutter._

+
+121. Three things that constitute an artificer: weaving chains, a mosaic
+ball,[78] an edge upon a blade.
+
+[78] O'Curry, Manners and Customs, ii., p. 253, thought that a _caer

+or ball of mosaic glass as is depicted in Joyce's _Social History of

+127. Three caldrons that are in every fort: the caldron of running, the

+
+[81] Quite obscure to me. There is a heavily glossed poem in H. 3. 18,
+beginning _Coire goriath_. In H. 2. 15, p. 117^b, after the colophon to
+Duil Laithne (Goid.,^2 p. 79), there are some further glosses, among
+which I find: goiriath .i. gardhamh in gach iath, erma .i. uasal-iompu
+no iar-iompa. But _erma_ seems the genitive of _erim_, 'a course.'

+219. The pottages of guarantorship: wer-geld or a debtor's ... or
+non-possession (?)[107]
+
+[107] Obscure and probably corrupt. Cp. Sec. 139.
+
+220. Three things hard to guarantee and to become a hostage and to make
+a contract for: to go security for constructing the fort of a king, an
+oratory, and a caldron. For it is hard for a man of a family to be given
+with (?) his fellow.[108]
+
+[108] I cannot make out the meaning of _doberim fri_.
+
+221. Three things that are undignified for everyone: driving one's horse
+before one's lord so as to soil his dress, going to speak to him without
+being summoned, staring in his face as he is eating his food.
+
+222. Three lawful handbreadths: a handbreadth between shoes and hose, a
+handbreadth between ear and hair, a handbreadth between the fringe of
+the tunic and the knee.
+
+223. What is worst in a household? Sons of a bawd, frequent feasts,
+numerous alliances in marriages, abundance of mead and wine. They waste
+you and do not profit.
+
+224. Three illnesses that are better than health: the lying-in of a
+woman with a male child, the fever of an abdominal disease that clears
+the bowels, a feverish passion to check evil by its good (?).
+
+225. Three welcomes of an ale-house: plenty and kindliness and art.

+a bad lord, and a bad smith.[109]

+
+232. Three that are most difficult to talk to: a king about his booty, a
+viking in his hauberk, a boor who is under patronage.
+
+233. Three whose spirits are highest: a young scholar after having read
+his psalms, a youngster who has put on man's attire,[114] a maiden who
+has been made a woman.
+
+[114] Literally, 'who has doffed his (boy's) clothes.'
+
+234. Four on whom there is neither restraint nor rule: the servant of a
+priest, a miller's hound, a widow's son, and a stripper's calf.
+
+235. Three hard things[115]: to go security on behalf of a king or
+highly privileged person, for a king's honour is wider than any claim;
+to go security for battle, for no one is capable of any security for a
+battle save a king under whose yoke are seven tribes; to go security for
+captivity, except one who owns a serf.
+
+Seven prohibitions: to go security for an outlaw, for a jester and for a
+madman, for a person without bonds, for an unfilial person, for an
+imbecile, for one excommunicated. Troublesome moreover is every
+security, for it is necessary for it to give sudden notice as regards
+every pledge which he gives, now beforehand, now afterwards.
+
+[115] I do not understand the force of _doib_, 'to them,' either here or
+below after _secht n-aurgarta_.
+
+236. Three wonders of Glenn Dallan[116] in Tirowen: the boar of Druim
+Leithe. It was born there, and Finn was unable to do aught against it,
+until it fell in Mag Li[117] by a peasant who was kiln-drying. Whence
+Finn said:
+
+[116] Now Glencar, six miles to the north of the town of Sligo.
+
+[117] The territory of the Tir Li, west of the river Bann.
+
+
+    "Not well have we fed our hounds,
+    Not well have we driven our horses,
+    Since a little boor from a kiln
+    Has killed the boar of Druim Leithe."
+
+The Beast of Lettir Dallan. It has a human head and otherwise the shape
+of a smith's bellows. The water-horse which lived in the lake by the
+side of the church cohabited with the daughter of the priest and begot
+the beast upon her.
+
+The Ox of Dil[118] is the third wonder. Its father came out of the same
+lake, and went upon one of the cows of the landholder who lived near the
+church, and begot the ox upon her.
+
+[118] The oxen of Dil, daughter of Mil or Legmannair, are mentioned in
+the Dindsenchas, No. 44 and 111 (Rev. Celt. xv.).

+forgetfulness.
+
+246. Three nurses of dignity: a fine figure, a good memory, piety.
+
+247. Three nurses of high spirits: pride, wooing, drunkenness.
+
+248. Four hatreds of a chief: a silly flighty man, a slavish useless
+man, a lying dishonourable man, a talkative man who has no story to
+tell.[121] For a chief does not grant speech save to four: a poet for
+satire and praise, a chronicler of good memory for narration and
+story-telling, a judge for giving judgments, an historian for ancient
+lore.[122]
+
+[121] _i.e._, who has nothing worth hearing to say.
+
+[122] See a similar passage in Ancient Laws i., p. 18, and in the tale
+called, 'The Conversion of Loegaire to the Faith' (Rev. Celt. iv., p.

+person is a sage, every sober person is generous, every well-spoken
+person is tractable.
+
+252. Four elements[124] of folly: silliness, bias, wrangling,
+foulmouthedness.
+
+[124] Literally, 'alphabets.'
+
+253. Three tabus of a chief: an ale-house without story-telling, a troop
+without a herald, a great company without wolfhounds.[125]
+
+[125] This triad has been wrongly read (fais_cre_ instead of fais_n_e_is_)
+and rendered by O'Grady in his Catalogue of Ir. mss. in the British
+Museum, p. 91.
+
+254. Three indications of dignity in a person: a fine figure, a free

+36. Dun Sobairchi and Dun Cermna are, according to tradition, the oldest
+stone forts in Ireland, having been built by Sobairche and Cermna, who
+divided Ireland between them, about 1500 B.C., the former placing his
+dun in the extreme north, the latter in the extreme south on the Old
+Head of Kinsale.
+
+37. Sliab Cua (or, by eclipse after the neuter _sliab_, Gua), 'the
+hollow mountain,' or 'mountain of hollows' (_cua_ = Lat. _cavus_), the
+native name for the Knockmealdown mountains on the borders of Tipperary
+and Waterford.
+
+42. Dercc Ferna was demolished by the Norse in 930. Hennessy, in a note
+on the entry in the AU., says that it is supposed to be the cave of
+Dunmore, not far from the city of Kilkenny, but adds "apparently on
+insufficient evidence."
+
+44. i. ionadha dona no nemhchonaig. Here we get the only gloss in L.
+Bangor is said to be unlucky, "because of its having been destroyed so
+often." It was frequently plundered by the Norse during the ninth
+century. As to the kingship of Mugdorn Maigen (now Cremorne barony, Co.
+Monaghan), it certainly was an ill-fated dynasty. Of the sixteen kings
+of this tribe who are mentioned in the Annals of Ulster, ten were put to
+death, of whom one (Suibne) was slain by his own brothers, while two
+brothers, Gilla Ciarain and Maelmuaid, were slain within the same year
+(1020), the latter after having been king for but one day.
+
+45. Beyond the fact that the three tribes here mentioned belonged to the
+_aithech-thuatha_ or rent-paying tribes, I know nothing to throw light
+on the triad.
+
+51. In Harl. 5280, p. 75a, marg. inf., Druimm nDrobeoil is said to
+derive its name from a horse called Drobel. (Ech Dedad. i. Drobel a ainm
+diata Druim nDrob_eoil_.)

+
+66. The first two items occur also in the list of proverbial sayings
+addressed by the Wizard Doctor to Mac Conglinne (_Aisl. Maic C._, p.
+73), with the significant variation that 'a veteran in the abbotship'
+has become 'a veteran in the bishop's chair,' showing that the 'Vision
+of Mac Conglinne' was composed at a time when the diocese had superseded
+the old monastic constitution. As to the 'drop upon the altar,' though
+O'Neachtain's gloss explains it as 'rain' (bainne .i. fer[th]uinn
+anuas), the Rev. Mr. O'Sullivan has furnished me with a much more likely
+explanation. He thinks it refers to the spilling of the consecrated wine
+from the chalice, which is considered a most unfortunate accident. No
+one but a priest is allowed to touch or remove it.

+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.

+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
