XXIX. THE PARTING OF CIARAN AND FINDIAN (VG)

Compare with this narrative the parting of Senan and Notal (LL,

2031). The metre of the stanza is _cummasc etir rannaigecht mór ocus

leth-rannaigecht_ (seven-syllable and five-syllable lines alternately,

with monosyllabic rhymes _abab_). The translation is literal.
