A complete + copy beginning: 'Ceand Erenn Ardmacha,' and ending: 'tri + hurgairt bidh a caitheam díescaidheadh (_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_éd_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] rlæ. 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:--'Trí + subhailce diadha: creidhemh, dothchus agus grádh. Trí a + n-aon: athair, mac, spiorad naomh, da raibh gloir, mola[dh] + [et] umhlacht tre bith sior tug ré don bhochtan bocht so. + Aniu an 15 do bhealltuine 1745. Tadhg O Nechtuin mac Seain a + n-aois ceithre bliadhna déag et trí 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 § 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 mbí_, 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 § 121 for _cerdai_ it reads _cerd_; in § 139 it has +_rotioc_ and _rotocht_; in § 143 for _grúss_ its reading is _grís_; in +§153 it has _aibeuloit_ for _eplet_; in § 217 _tar a n-éisi_ for _dia +n-éisi_; in § 218 _lomradh_(twice) for _lobra_ and _indlighidh_ for _i +n-indligud_; in § 219 it has the correct reading _éiric_, and for +_dithechte_ it reads _ditheacht_; in § 220 it reads _fri aroile_ for +_fria céile_; in § 223 after _ile_ it adds _imchiana_; in § 224 it reads +_grís brond .i. galar_; in § 229 for _meraichne_ it has _mearaigheacht_; +in § 235 it has _mhamus_ for _mám_; in § 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 _Senbríathra +Fíthil_, 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 _Senbríathra Fíthail_ (pp. +345_b_-346_a_), and the _Bríathra 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 Féne_, 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 Palæohibernicus_, + II., p. 246). + + Three enemies of the soul: the world, the devil, and an + impious teacher.--Colman maccu Beognae's Alphabet of Piety + (_Zeitschrift für 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 + Félire 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 Félire of Oengus, p. 204, + and Tripartite Life, p. 557.[3] + + [3] Where for 'wrong stories' read 'wrong counsels' (_sanasa sáeba_). + +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 Ciaráin. + + + 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 trí ní (a trí Br.) doná (danach Br.) buidech mac Dé bí: + crábud úallach, coisced (coiccsed Br.) serb, écnach 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 tréide dianab buidech rí gréine: + óenta bráthar, comrád (fodail Ed.) cert, altóir Dé 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 trí lucht a n-iffirn úathmar anside: + óes dogní dán, óes choilles grád, óes 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 trí ní ná dlegair do bocht Dé bí: + dimmda da bethaid cipé, cesacht ocus aibéle. + + + + +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 (§§ 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 _téite_ 167, _bíte_ +127, _ata_ 75, 76, 224, &c., _berta_ (O. Ir. _berte_) 109, 110, _fíchte_ +(145), _coillte_ (166), _téite_ (167), _aragellat_ (sic leg. with N) +171; the deponent _neimthigedar_ 116, &c.; _ató_, '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 (_rátho, +Ailello_). Thence onward the ending _-a_ is always found. + +[10] _rátha_ 56, _foglada_ 92, _flatha_ 151, 248, 253; _dara_ 4, 34; +_Ela_ 31, 35, 44 (cf. _Lainne Ela_, AU. 816); _átha_ 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 (§ 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 +Cúailgni_ 43, _d'uisci_ 64). + +The nasal stem _léimm_ makes its nom. plur. _léimmen_ in Old-Irish. In § +32 we find instead (_tair-_)_leme_. So also _foimrimm_ makes its nom. +plural _foimrimme_ in § 163. + +The word _dorus_ is neuter in Old-Irish, making its nom. acc. plural +either _dorus_ or _doirsea_. In our text (§§ 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 § 51 we find the nom. pl. _drommanna_. + +The neuter _grád_ in § 166 makes its nom. plur. _grúda_ for O. Ir. +_grád_.[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 § 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 § 232, a Viking in his hauberk (_Gall +ina lúirig_) is mentioned as one of three that are hardest to talk to; +and, in § 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--_Zahlensprüche_, 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 Grüneisen 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.: München, 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 Engländer wie seine Frau, der Deutsche wie seine alte +Grossmutter._ + +K.M. + + + + +THE TRIADS OF IRELAND + + + + +TRECHENG BRETH FÉNI INSO SÍS[1] + + +1.

Three wonders of Ireland: the grave of the dwarf,[72] the grave of +Trawohelly,[73] an echo near.[74] + +[72] Somewhere in the west (i n-iarthar Erenn, Fél., p. clvii). + +[73] See Todd's _Irish Nennius_, p. 199, and Zeitschrift für Celt.

Three speeches that are better than silence: inciting a king to +battle, spreading knowledge (?),[75] praise after reward.[76] + +[75] _Sreth immais_, which I have tentatively translated by 'spreading +knowledge,' is used as a technical term in poetry for connecting all the +words of a verse-line by alliteration, as e.g. _slatt_, _sacc_, _socc_, +_simend_, _saland_. See Ir. Texte iii., p. 30. + +[76] _Cf._ LL. 344_a_: Carpre asks Cormac what are the sweetest things +he has heard, and Cormac answers: 'A shout of triumph after victory, +praise after reward, the invitation of a fair woman to her pillow.' + +113. Three impossible demands: go! though you cannot go, bring what you +have not got, do what you cannot do. + +114.

Three things that constitute a carpenter: joining together without +calculating (?), without warping (?); agility with the compass; a +well-measured stroke. + +119. Three things that constitute a physician: a complete cure, leaving +no blemish behind, a painless examination. + +120. Three things that constitute a blacksmith: Nethin's spit, the +cooking-hearth of the Morrigan, the Dagda's anvil.[77] + +[77] For a description and pictures of these appliances, see YBL., p. +419_a_, and Egerton, 1782, fo. 46_a_. + +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 +comraic_ was 'a ball of convergent ribs or lines,' perhaps such a bead +or ball of mosaic glass as is depicted in Joyce's _Social History of +Ancient Ireland_, vol. ii., p. 32, fig. 171. _A cáer comraic_ of eight +different colours is mentioned in LB. 108_b_ 20. + +122. Three things that constitute a harper: a tune to make you cry, a +tune to make you laugh, a tune to put you to sleep.[79] + +[79] _Cf._ H. 3. 18, p. 87: tréide nemtighther cruit; goltraiges, +gentraiges, suantraiges. + +123. Three things that constitute a poet: 'knowledge that illumines,' +'_teinm laeda_,'[80] improvisation. + +[80] The names of various kinds of incantations.

Three caldrons that are in every fort: the caldron of running, the +caldron _goriath_,[81] the caldron of guests. + +[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 +Dúil Laithne (Goid.,^2 p. 79), there are some further glosses, among +which I find: goiriath .i. gardhamh in gach iath, erma .i. uasal-iompú +no iar-iompa. But _érma_ seems the genitive of _érim_, 'a course.' + +128. Trí comartha láthraig bendachtan: clocc, salm, senad. + + [Note 128: lathrach bennachtan H bendacht L senad NBMH ocsenad L] + +129.

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.

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 Lí, 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 Míl or Legmannair, are mentioned in +the Dindsenchas, No. 44 and 111 (Rev.

When the sea rises, it is as high +as the tide. + +The stone of the Dagda. Though it be thrown into the sea, though it be +put into a house under lock, ... out of the well at which it is. + +The two herons in Scattery island.

And coracles have not discovered the +place of hatching. + +[119] _Cf._ § 197. + +238. Three worst smiles: the smile of a wave, the smile of a lewd woman, +the grin of a dog ready to leap.[120] + +[120] _Cf._ § 91. + +239. What are the three wealths of fortunate people? Not hard to tell. A +ready conveyance(?), ale without a habitation(?), a safeguard upon the +road. + +240. Three sons whom chastity bears to wisdom: valour, generosity, +laughter (filial piety?). + +241. Three entertainers of a gathering: a jester, a juggler, a lap-dog. + +242. Three things that are best for a chief: justice, peace, an army. + +243. Three things that are worst for a chief: sloth, treachery, evil +counsel. + +244.

Three things that ruin wisdom: ignorance, inaccurate knowledge, +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.

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 +bearing, eloquence. + +255.

Dún Sobairchi and Dún 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 +dún in the extreme north, the latter in the extreme south on the Old +Head of Kinsale. + +37. Slíab Cua (or, by eclipse after the neuter _slíab_, Gúa), 'the +hollow mountain,' or 'mountain of hollows' (_cúa_ = 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 nemhchonáig. 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 Ciaráin and Máelmúaid, 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 +diatá Druim nDrob_eoil_.) + +56.

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.

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.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +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.

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.</p> + +<p>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<i>a</i>-7<i>b</i> a copy of the Triads, followed on fo. +7<i>b</i>-19<i>a</i> by a glossed copy of the <i>Tecosca Cormaic</i>. It was written in +1714 by Domnall (or Daniel) O Duind mac Eimuinn. Its readings agree +closely with those of N. In § 237, it alone, of all manuscripts, gives +an intelligible reading of a corrupt passage. For <i>cia fochertar +im-muir, cia berthair hi tech fo glass dodeime a tiprait oca mbí</i>,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_vii" id="Page_vii">[Pg vii]</a></span> it +reads: <i>cia focearta im-muir, cia beirthear hi tech fo glass no do +theine, dogeibther occan tiprait</i>, '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 § 121 for <i>cerdai</i> it reads <i>cerd</i>; in § 139 it has +<i>rotioc</i> and <i>rotocht</i>; in § 143 for <i>grúss</i> its reading is <i>grís</i>; in +§153 it has <i>aibeuloit</i> for <i>eplet</i>; in § 217 <i>tar a n-éisi</i> for <i>dia +n-éisi</i>; in § 218 <i>lomradh</i>(twice) for <i>lobra</i> and <i>indlighidh</i> for <i>i +n-indligud</i>; in § 219 it has the correct reading <i>éiric</i>, and for +<i>dithechte</i> it reads <i>ditheacht</i>; in § 220 it reads <i>fri aroile</i> for +<i>fria céile</i>; in § 223 after <i>ile</i> it adds <i>imchiana</i>; in § 224 it reads +<i>grís brond .i. galar</i>; in § 229 for <i>meraichne</i> it has <i>mearaigheacht</i>; +in § 235 it has <i>mhamus</i> for <i>mám</i>; in § 236 <i>Maig Hi</i> for <i>Maig Lii</i>; +and for <i>co ndeirgenai in dam de</i> it reads <i>co nderna in dam fria</i>.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>Lastly, there is in the Advocates' Library a copy in a vellum manuscript +marked Kilbride III. It begins on fo. 9<i>b</i><sup>2</sup> 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.</p> + +<p>In all these manuscripts the Triads either follow upon, or precede, or +are incorporated in the collections of maxims and proverbial sayings +known as <i>Tecosca Cormaic</i>, <i>Auraicept Morainn</i>, and <i>Senbríathra +Fíthil</i>, 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 +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_viii" id="Page_viii">[Pg viii]</a></span><i>Tecosca Cormaic</i> (pp. 343<i>a</i>-345<i>b</i>), the <i>Senbríathra Fíthail</i> (pp. +345<i>b</i>-346<i>a</i>), and the <i>Bríathra Moraind</i> (pp. 346<i>a</i>-<i>b</i>), does not +include them.</p> + +<p>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 <i>Trecheng breth Féne</i>, 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 <i>Battle of Ventry</i>, 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:—</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p>Three kinds of martyrdom that are counted as a cross to man, +<i>i.e.</i> white martyrdom, green martyrdom, and red +martyrdom.—The Cambray Homily (<i>Thesaurus Palæohibernicus</i>, +<span class="smcap">II.</span>, p. 246).</p> + +<p>Three enemies of the soul: the world, the devil, and an +impious teacher.—Colman maccu Beognae's Alphabet of Piety +(<i>Zeitschrift für celtische Philologie</i>, <span class="smcap">III.</span>, p. 452).</p> + +<p>Three things whereby the devil shows himself in man: by his +face, by his gait, by his speech.—<i>Ib.</i>, p. 453.</p> + +<p>Three profitable labours in the day: praying, working, +reading.—Regula Choluimb Cille (<i>Zeitschr.</i>, <span class="smcap">III.</span>, p. 29).</p> + +<p>Three laymen of Ireland who became monks: Beccan son of +Cula, Mochu son of Lonan, and Enda of Arann.—Notes on the +Félire of Oengus (Henry Bradshaw Society, vol. xxix., p. +112).</p> + +<p>Three chief artisans of Ireland: Tassach with Patrick, +Conlaed with Brigit, and Daig with Ciaran.—<i>Ib.</i>, p. 186.</p> + +<p>Three poets of the world: Homer of the Greeks, Vergil of the +Latins, Ruman of the Gaels.—Book of Leinster, p. 354<i>b</i>.</p> + +<p>The three worst counsels that have been acted on in Ireland +through the advice of saints: the cutting short of Ciaran's<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_ix" id="Page_ix">[Pg ix]</a></span> +life, the banishment of Colum Cille, the expulsion of +Mochuta from Rathen.—Notes on the Félire of Oengus, p. 204, +and Tripartite Life, p. 557.<a name="FNanchor_3_3" id="FNanchor_3_3"></a><a href="#Footnote_3_3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a></p> + +<div class="footnote"><p><a name="Footnote_3_3" id="Footnote_3_3"></a><a href="#FNanchor_3_3"><span class="label">[3]</span></a> Where for 'wrong stories' read 'wrong counsels' +(<i>sanasa sáeba</i>).

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.

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.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +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.

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._ + +K.M. + + + + +THE TRIADS OF IRELAND + + + + +TRECHENG BRETH FENI INSO SIS[1] + + +1.

See Ir.

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 +comraic_ was 'a ball of convergent ribs or lines,' perhaps such a bead +or ball of mosaic glass as is depicted in Joyce's _Social History of +Ancient Ireland_, vol. ii., p. 32, fig. 171. _A caer comraic_ of eight +different colours is mentioned in LB. 108_b_ 20. + +122. Three things that constitute a harper: a tune to make you cry, a +tune to make you laugh, a tune to put you to sleep.[79] + +[79] _Cf._ H. 3. 18, p. 87: treide nemtighther cruit; goltraiges, +gentraiges, suantraiges. + +123.

Three caldrons that are in every fort: the caldron of running, the +caldron _goriath_,[81] the caldron of guests. + +[81] Quite obscure to me.

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.' + +128. Tri comartha lathraig bendachtan: clocc, salm, senad. + + [Note 128: lathrach bennachtan H bendacht L senad NBMH ocsenad L] + +129.

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.

Three things that ruin wisdom: ignorance, inaccurate knowledge, +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. +165). + +249. Three dark[123] things of the world: giving a thing into keeping, +guaranteeing, fostering. + +[123] _i.e._, uncertain what will come of them. + +250.

Three prohibitions of food: to eat it without giving thanks, to eat +it before its proper time, to eat it after a guest. + +251. Four elements[124] of wisdom: patience, docility, sobriety, +well-spokenness; for every patient person is wise, and every docile +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 +bearing, eloquence. + +255. Three coffers whose depth is not known: the coffer of a chieftain, +of the Church,[126] of a privileged poet. + +[126] "Die Kirche hat einen guten Magen," Goethe, Faust. + +256.

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_.) + +56.

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.

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 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. diff --git a/31672.zip b/31672.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..dfc28e7 --- /dev/null +++ b/31672.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
