January
1. Before men's multitudinous race let the pre-eminent King lead! Christ on January's calends underwent the Law, high the requirement!
2. Isidorus the bishop, abbot of a high church: splendid Manchene of Airec, Scothine, the diadem of Marge.
3. Rhodon's great martyrdom, with his train, a fair moon: Fintan with a long life of nobleness; Findlug the sure, of Dun Blesce.
4. The pure death ot Aquilinus with a troop that was strongest: in Christ's blood ' by means of their (martyrised) bodies they had washed (their) robes.
5. The calling unto Christ of Simeon the sage—a form that may purify us : a fair sun, a fresh champion, was Ciar, daughter of Duib-re.
6. Ran to his King, right noble choice! Julian, rock with purity: the great baptism ot Mary's Son—perfect gladness! deserves not outrage.
7. The martyrdom of Lucianus with a great host that was higher: I have commemorated what is nobler, the beginning of Jesus' Lent.
8. The departure of Egemonius, a bishop of high penance: Ercnait a virgin, splendid (her) heritage, noble Nechtan, from Alba (Scotland).
