This is a poem about the son of the first Mac Cormaic who was named Moga Chorbb. His son Con-Chorb was High King of Ireland and greatgrandfather to another High King of Ireland Cathaoir Mor mac Cormaic. Con Chorbb was killed not long after AD while Cathaoir Mor mac Cormaic is said to have died around 120 AD. Both had as their principle fort Dun Ailinne in Co. Kildare Ireland.
Mac Moga Chorbb's son conceals renown
well sheds he blood by his spears
A stone over his grave tis a pity
He who carried battle over Cliu Mail
My noble chief he spoke not falsehood
His success was certain in every danger
As black as a raven was his brow
As sharp was his spear as a razor
As white was his skin as the lime
Together we used to go upon reflections
As high was his shield as a champion
As long as his arm an oar
The fork against the kings of Erin sons of chiefs
He maintained his shield in every cause
Countless wolves fed he with his spear
At the heals of our man in every battle
Seven battles fought he for his land
He swept over them like any danger
What battle of them admirable the deed
In which he warned off not a hundred in every danger
The three battles of Ath Finn Fail
The battle of Ath an Scail of bloody field
The battle of Fossud was the pursuence of a hero
Was fought by the chief of Magh Main
The battle of Glas Gle he broke to gain
The man who had the deciding of battles
The battle of Bernas our chief soldier fought
his valour brought blood upon our spears
He defended by his arms his land
When he killed kings who were not weak
To conquer Erin he raised a contest
Alas the destruction has come on the son.
