173. The 'mothan'

BUAINIDH mi am mothan, Luibh nan naodh alt, Buainidh agus boinichidh, Do Bhride bhorr 's dh' a Dalt.

Buainidh mi am mothan, A dh' orduich Righ nam feart, Buainidh agus boinichidh, Do Mhoire mhor 's dh' a Mac.

Buainidh mi am mothan, A dh' orduich Righ nan dul, Bheir buaidh air gach foirneart, Is ob air obi shul.

PLUCK will I the 'mothan,' Plant of the nine joints, Pluck will I and vow me, To noble Bride and her Fosterling.

Pluck will I the 'mothan,' As ordained of the King of power, Pluck will I and vow me, To great Mary and her Son.

Pluck will I the 'mothan,' As ordained of the King of life, To overcome all oppression, And the spell of evil eye.
