<dir id="bkmrk-the-meeting-of-monga">The meeting of Mongan and beloved Colum  
The son of Fedlimid, the noble saint,  
At Carraic Eolairg <a name="fr_166"></a>[<span style="font-size: xx-small;">2</span>](https://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/vob/vob13.htm#fn_166) with fame  
Wise men sing in books. \[20\] On a Thursday without woe  
Mongan came to Carrait Eolairg  
To converse with Comm Cille,  
From the flock-abounding Land of Promise.

Mongan found not any help \[25\]  
When he went to see Heaven,  
But his head--great the profit!  
Under Cohan Cille's cowl.'
