Sen dollotar Ulaid ...

Sen dollotar Ulaid ... is an Irish poem of uncertain date, possibly early 10th-century. It consists of nine quatrains, and lacks context. It appears to concern a raid by the men of Ulaid (Ulster) to Viking Scotland.

The text

Sen dollotar Ulaid/i Lachlaind co leri/ co tuscat noí catha/on comainm coa celi.

Translation

Luckily came the Ulaid to Lochlann/expeditiously/and fought nine battles/from year's end to year's end.
