At-chí Bran...

At-chí Bran
lín tonn tibri tar muir glan;
At-chíu cadéin i mMaig Mon
scotha cennderga cen on.

(sees * Bran / number * of waves * that break * across * sea * clean / I see * (my)self * in * Mag Mon / flowers * red-headed * without * blemish)

Bran sees
countless waves breaking across a clear sea;
Myself I see on the Plain of Mon
the red tops of flawless flowers.

This verse is found in the tale “Immram Brain”. Manannán, the sea god, contrasts what the mortal Bran sees from his little boat with how he himself views the same scene from his sea-going chariot.
