I am Ireland: I am older than the old woman* of Beare. Great my glory: I who bore Cuchulainn, the brave.

Great my shame: My own children who sold their mother.

Great my pain: My irreconcilable enemy who harrasses me continually...

Great my sorrow That crowd, in whom I placed my trust, died.

I am Ireland: I am lonelier than the old woman* of Beare.
