THE PROPHECY OF THE MORRIGHAN
                        which She uttered to the Tuatha de Danaan
                              after the Battle of Magh Tuireadh

Peace to the sky
sky to the earth
earth beneath sky
strength in everyone
a cup very full
a fullness of honey
a wealth of mead
summer in winter
spear supported by shield
shields supported by forts
forts fierce eager for battle
sod from sheep
woods grown with antler-tips
forever destructions have departed
mast on trees
a branch drooping down
drooping from growth
wealth for a son
a son very learned
neck of bull
a bull from a song
knots in wood
wood for a fire
fire as wanted
palisades new and bright
salmon their victory
the Boyne their hostel
hostel with an excellence of length
blue growth after spring
autumn horses increase, the land held secure
land recounted with excellence of word
be might to the eternal much excellent woods
peace to the sky
be nine times eternal
