Abstract
This fragmentary poem was composed in 1641 to Donnchadh, son of Cormac Mac Carthaigh (1st Earl of Clancarty and 2nd Viscount Muskerry, †1665), to welcome him back to Muskerry after a successful political mission in London, and to commemorate him succeeding his father, Cormac son of Cormac Mac Carthaigh (1st Viscount Muskerry), who had died in London in February 1641. An edition of the surviving quatrains of the poem based on the copy in RIA MS 23 O 78 (3) is provided here. A lightly edited transcription of this text from the same manuscript was published in ABM (168). The edition is accompanied by an introduction, notes on language and metre, and an English translation.
