    This is an excerpt of the first verse of "Rath Cruachan":

    Listen, ye warriors about Cruachu!
    with its barrow for every noble couple:
    O host whence springs lasting fame of laws!
    O royal line of the men of Connacht!


    "Rath Cruachan" is poem 63 of The Metrical Dindshenchas (Lore of Places), a fabulous onomastic anthology written in Irish bardic verse which names the legends of signifcant places.

    See "Rath Cruachan" at the Corpus of Electronic Texts site.
