Blessing on the patron Brigit with the virgins of Ireland about
her:
50 give ye all a fair testimony : blessing on Brigit's dignity. i©
Blessing on Columcille, with the saints of Alba on the other side,
on the soul of glorious Adamnan, who imposed a law on the clans.
(May we be) under the safeguard of the King of the elements, a
protection which will not betray us !
may the Holy Spirit rain on us ! may Christ deliver us, bless us ! 15
