(^g° CcAiijAiri,

the

Irish name

of Tara,

Latinized

Temora,

is derived

—

(1)

According

the

Four Masters,

from

Cca,

the

name

the

first queea

who

dwelt on

that

royal

hill;

and

nji'm, an old

Irish

word

signifying

rampart,

fortified

place,

palace,

protected mound,

hill—

found

its

Latin derivative

murus, a

wall:

(2)

From

ceAj, a house,

and

n;ún;

(3)

from

ceA5,

house;

and n)óiA,

large.

None of those

derivation

is satisfactory.

The last

(ceA5-tbóri)

cannot

received,

for it

way

special.

The

suffix

njóri,

being

the part

the

com-

pound that stamps

the

residence

of the

Irish

Kings,"

with

special signifi-

cancy.

should

pronounced openly

and

full, as in the

compounds Zy\.\^r^-

njór,

Tramore

;

ilbAr)-rt)óri,

Avonmore

;

now in

the word

(CeATnAitx).n)Aift,

second syllable

pronounced

curtly,

and

without

the accent.

Again

,ó\\

an adjective

following

gramatical

order the

noun

ceATj,

mas.

gender,

380 SELF-IXSTKUCTIOX IN

IRISH.

should not be

aspirated

;

but in ceAitiAin,

is aspirated.

Summing

up,

then, these

reasons, the

weight

probability

hes against

supposing

that

the

adjective

njón,

great, enters into the composition

the

word.

?i}un

and

mon

are the only terras

about

which there is

question

amongst

the

ancients or moderns.

The nature of the

place of which

ce.xnjAin

is the

name, and its history favor

the conclusion that

njún

is the

second

part

the

compound term.

But is it

the

term

ce^s,

house; or is it CeA, the

name of the

Milesian

queen,

which is the first part

the

word

? It is

very

likely

neither

of them

forms

component

part of

CcAnjAin.

(2)

CeAa-nniti,

a house-stronghold,

house

enclosure,

does

not sound

well

;

besides

CeAnjAjn

was the name,

not

the

house or

palace

alone,

but of the entire hill.

(1)

CeA,

then,

must be the

prefix

of njun

And

this

opinion

is strengthened

by the

authority of

the

Annals

the Kingdom of

Ireland"

—

from

her

was

called,

e.,

from

Coa, daughter

of Lughaidh

and wife

of Eremhon,

who

requested of

her

husband a choice hill, as

her

dower,

in whatever

place

she

should select

it,

that she

might

interred therein,

and

that her

mound

and

her

grave-stone

should

be thereon raised,

and

where every

prince

evef

born

her should

dwell The hill

she

selected was

Druini-

Caein,

i.e. CeAii)Ain"

(vol. I.,

31,

second

edition).

CeA,

is not

the prefix.

This

derivation

however,"

says Dr. O'Donovan,

legendary,

for CeA-

mAitt

was

very common

in Ireland as

woman's name;

and it was

applied

to more

hills

than ceArijAiri

in Meath;

as,

Teamhair Lnaclira,

in Kerry, and

Teamhair

Bhrogha-Niadh,

Leinster. In Cnrmac's

Glossary, it

is stated

that the

Teamhair

of a

house

means

a grianan. i.e., a bower,

balcony

;

ai.d

that

CeAmAin

the

country means a

hill commundmg

a pleasant

prospect."

—

Note,

31.

(4)

From this,

then,

plain

that reAirjAjn means

sunny mound,

or a

sunshiny

(ceo)

enclosure

(njun).

fortified palace

having

a pleasant

prospect.

This

being,

according

Cormac king and

archl)ishop,

and the

most learned

Irishman

the tenth

century,

the meaningof

thenanier.eAmAirt

;

its deriva-

tion is

plainly from ceo,

u-arm,

sunsliiny, and

njuTx,

fortified

enclosure,

mound,

hill.

Dear

Harp

of my

country

! in darkness I

found

thee,

The

cold chain of silence had hung o'er

thee

long,

When

proudly, my own

Island Harp !

I unbound thee.

And gave all thy cords to Ught,

freedom,

and

song

The wai-m

lay

of love

and

the light

note

of gladness

Have waken'd thy fondest,

thy

liveUest thrill

;

But, so oft hast thou echoed th3 deep

sigh of

sadness,

That

ev'n in

thy mirth

it will

steal from thee

still.

Dear Harp

of my

country !

farewell

thy

numbers,

This sweet

wTeath of

song is

the last we shall

twine

;

Go, sleep

with

the

sunshine

fame on

thy

slumbers,

Till touch'd

some hand

less unworthy than

mine.

If the

pulse

of the patriot,

solcher,

lover,

Have

throbb'd

at om-

lay, 'tis thy glory alone

;

was hut

as the wind,

passing heedlessly over.

And all the

wild sweetness

I wak'd was thy own.

Yes,

Could

make

thy childi-en

SELF-INSTKUCTION

IRISH.

II.

Like thee doth

our nation lie

conquer'd

and broken,

And fall'n from

her head is the

once royal crown

;

In her streets,

in her halls.

Desolation hath

spoken.

And,

wliile it

day

yet,

her sun

hath

gone

down

III.

thine doth her exile, 'mid dreams

of returning,

Die far from

the hom'e it were life to

behold

—

thine do her sons, in the

day of their mourning,

Remember the

bright things that

bless'd them

old.

IV.

Ah ! well may

we call

her,

thee,

The Forsaken,"

Her

boldest are

vanquished,

her proudest are

slaves

;

And the harps

of her

minstrels, when

gayest they waken,

Have breathings

as sad as the wind over graves.

Yet

hadst

thou thy vengeance

—

yet came there the

morrow,

That

shines

out at last on the longest

dark

night,

When the

sceptre

that smote thee

with

slavery

and

sorrow

"Was shiver'd

once,

hke

a reed

in thy sight

VI.

When that cup, which for

others the proud Golden City

Had brimm'd

full of bitterness, di-ench'd her own lips.

And the world she had trampled

on, heard without

pity

The

howl in her halls,

and the cry from

her ships

VII.

When the curse Heaven keeps for the haughty came

over

Her

merchants rapacious, her rulers

unjust,

And

—

a ruin,

at last,

for

the

eai-th-worm to cover

—

The

THE

CELTIC

TONGUE.

[These

lines, taken from a

beautiful piece which appeared

The

Nation

the Ist

November, 1862,

are

very soul-inspiring, full of historic

truth,

and of power.

The writer

unknown to the

author of this volume].

Ay,

build ye

up the Celtic

tongue above

0'Curn,''s grave

;

Speed

the good

work,

patriot souls who

long your land

to save.

Who

long to

light the flame

again on

Freedom's altar dead,

Wlio long to call

the glories l)ack from

hapless Erin fled,

Wlio long

to gem

her sadden'd

brow

with queenly wreath

again.

And raise a wanior people

up,

Nation

in her train.

Speed

then

the work

; be

scorn our lot, our ancient pride is

flown.

If midst

the nations

the

earth we stand

in shame

alone.
