Lìon an damhain-Allaidh	The Spider's Web
Siud an lion a tha breòite Anns nach eil dòchas ri fhaotainn, Ged as maiseach a bhòidhchead Mar an t-òr air an raonaidh; Se sin dòchas a'chealgair, Se sin anaman gun saoradh - Bheir an oiteag air falbhe e, A chuid dhealbhannan faoine, A-muigh 's a-mach	There's the net that's defective And offers no hope, Though great is its glory Like gold on the slope; It's the hope of the scoundrel, Its souls without freedom - The breeze will extinguish it, All its vain images, And blow it away
Eachann MacFhionghain	Hector MacKinnon
