God's blessing.-Colmán, son of the descendant of Cluasach, lector of Cork, he it is that made this hymn to save himself from the Yellow Plague which was in the time of the sons of Aed Sláne. For numerous were the people in Ireland at that time, and such was their number that they got but thrice nine ridges for each man in Ireland, to wit, nine of bog and nine of land and nine of forest. So the nobles of the men of Ireland fasted along with the sons of Aed Sláne, with Fechine of Fore, and with Aireran, and with Mauchan of Liath and with a multitude besides, for the thinning of the people, for scarcity of food had come there because of their number. Wherefore the Yellow Plague was sent upon them, and the sons of Aed Sláne died in that year, and the seniors whom we have mentioned, et alii multi. Dicunt alii that it was Colmán who made the whole (hymn). Others say that he made only two quatrains of it and that the school made it from that forth, i.e. a half-quatrain by each man of them. In Cork it was made, in the time of the two sons of Aed Sláne, namely, Blaithmac and Diarmait. Now this is the cause of making it. A great pestilence was sent on the men of Ireland, namely, the Buide connaill, and it searched all Ireland, and left alive only every third human being in Ireland. And to protect them and his school against that pestilence Colmán made this hymn. And it came to pass that he made it when he began to voyage forth to a certain island of the sea of Ireland, a-fleeing this pestilence, till there were nine waves between them and the land, for pestilence does not pass beyond, ut ferunt periti. And a certain one of this school asked Colmán what was the blessing wherein it had befallen them to go away thus. Said Colmán, "What blessing is this," quoth he, "but God's blessing?" for this is what they tried, to go forth on islands of the sea, in flight before the Plague. God's blessing bear us, come on us! Let Mary's son cover us! Whether (at) rest or (in) motion, whether sitting or standing, pray. 1 I omit a latin note about Daniel. 5 A prayer of Abel, son of Adam, of Eli, of Enoch, to help us! May they save us from the swift disease, whatever place throughout the world it threatens. Noah and Abraham, Isaac the admirable son, May they surround us against disease: let not famine visit us. We beseech the father of three quaternions" and Joseph, 10 Let their prayers save us to the King many-angel'd, noble ! May Moses (the) good leader protect me, (he) who protected thro' Rubrum Mare: Joshua, Aaron, son of Amra, David the bold youth. Job with the tribulations protect us against the poisons, May God's prophets guard us with Maccabeus' seven sons. 15 John Baptist we appeal to, let him be a safeguard to us, a protection. Jesus with (his) apostles be for our aid against danger. Let Mary, Joseph, call us, et spiritus Stephani: From every peril may commemoration of Ignatius' name deliver us. Who saved Noah (with) his people diluvii temporibus. Let his prayers free us ab omni formidine. 25 Soter who freed Lot from fire, qui per secula habetur, Ut nos omnes, precamur, liberare dignetur. Abram of Ur of the Chaldees, let the Prince who protected him protect us, Let him free me who freed the people lympha fontis in danger. Let the Prince who saved three children from a furnace of fire with redness, 30 Protect us as he protected David de manu Golai. Let lampful heaven's Sovran spare us from our misery, As he sent the angel who delivered Peter from his chain, Let him be sent to us to assist us, let everything unsmooth be smooth before us. 35 Let us tell our wish to our God nostro opere digno, May we be with him in eternal life in paradisi regno. As he saved prophet Jonas from a whale's belly, bright deed! Let the good king threatening, mighty, protect us! God's blessing bear us, come on us! Truly, O God, truly, let this prayer be granted; 40 Let little children of God's kingdom be around this school! Truly, O God, let it be true! Let us all reach (the) peace of the King! Whoever shall reach may we reach. we come together! a Into Heaven's kingdom may Isaac, father of the twelve patriarchs. May we be without age in space, with angels in eternal life! Great kings, prophets without extinction, angels, apostles, a noble sight. Let them come with our Heavenly Father before (the) demons' host to bless us. A blessing on Patron Patrick with Ireland's saints around him, A blessing on Patron Brigit with Ireland's virgins around her : A blessing on Columcille with Alba's saints beside him, On (the) soul of noble Adamnán who passed a law on the clans. Upon (the) protection of the King of the Elements, a guardianship he will not take from us, The Holy Spirit rain on us, Christ free us, bless us ! II. FIACC'S HYMN.
