Pilgrimage to Rome:
                   little gain,
                   much care.
The King for whom you long
 — unless he came along — 
You won't
                   find there. 

Teicht do Róim:
mór saído, becc torbai!
in rí chon·daigi hi foss,
mani·m-bera latt, ní·fogbai.

Irish, 9th century.

WOID XXIII-06
