“Cuthullin, Faͤltmarſkalk uti Erin (Irland), ſaknar, i det oͤgonblick då han wille framrycka mot Swaran, Lochlins Konung, ſom gjort en landſtigning på Oͤn, trenne af ſina tapprasſe hjeltar, Sergus, Duchomar och Cathbat.”

Cuthullin, Field Marshal of Erin (Ireland), misses, at the moment when he wished to advance against Swaran, King of Lochlin, who had landed on the island, three of his bravest heroes, Sergus, Duchomar, and Cathbat.

“Man talar mycket mer om Pierre Bonaparte, revolvermannen, och om den franſka riksdagen, hwilket bewiſar att wi werkligen höra til Europa och ej kunna undgå att interesſera oß för hwad ſom händer på det ſtora faſtlandet, på halföarne och äfwen i det britiſka öriket, "gröna Erin" inbegripen, men framför allt för det ſom pasſerar i grannſkapet af Seine, ware sig i lagſtiftande corpſens palats eller i en ſalong i Auteuil, ſtrax bredwid der Molière hade ſin malmgård.”

“Erin, det är ju det keltiska namnet för Irland, den gröna ön […]”

Erin, that's the Celtic name for Ireland, the green island […]
