 Rh "Oh! art thou that fair one whose dear fatal charms, To the walls of old Troy led the Greeks in bright
 * arms?

Or she who our princes has exiled afar, And brought in the aliens, with rapine and war?

"Or that dame, most unhappy, whose love passing
 * fond,

For the Finians, dissolved the dear conjugal bond? Or she who afar o'er the seas sped her flight With Naoise renowned in the Red-Branches' fight?

"Or she that of old with the heroes of Greece, Theme of many a song, brought the rich golden fleece? Or the queen of king Connor deemed worthy alone. When he lay in the tomb, to be placed on his throne?" VOL. II.
