This formula of transition to a new subject occurs several times in the poem see Glossary, sub lesser. the king), apparently taking lirrai as the fut. Now Wright has mistaken parla (the 3rd person) for parlai (the 1st), thus apparently making Regan the subject of endita and by rendering this latter word endited he has certainly done little to correct Harris's error. Wright's version of these four lines is as follows:- Maurice Regan was he, I spoke mouth to mouth with him, Who endited this history, shewed me the history of him. Wright, in his introductory essay to Michel's edition, prints the correct text of the first eleven lines (except that he puts latinier for latimer) side by side with Harris's gibberish, which he wrongly attributes to Carew, and then gives his own literal translation but, curiously enough, he seems to fall into precisely the same error as that which he attributes to Harris, namely, that Regan had written the history. Lines 4–8 run thus in Harris's version:- Maurice Regan was the man, Who face to face indited to me These actions of the king, And of himself showed me this history. These mistakes are, in the main, due to Harris and not to Carew, who does not translate the passage, nor in the Lambeth copy of Carew's Abstract is it transcribed. As printed in Harris's Hibernica they are pure gibberish, and the translation is Now these opening lines have been repeatedly wrongly transcribed and wrongly interpreted. See Chronological Table.Ī note to the same effect heads Carew's abstract of the poem, on the margin of which, opposite the name Maurice Regan, is written this Maurice Regan was the author of this Historie.Ĭarew evidently drew this conclusion from the opening lines of the poem, which must be examined with some care. The taking of Limerick was six years after Fitz-Stephen's landing. It endeth abruptlie at the winninge of Limericke which was not full 3 yeares after Robert fitz Stephen his first arrivall in Irland. Neverthelesse in the first tenne Lynes it appears that this storie was written by one called Maurice Regan (sometymes mentioned in this discourse) who was servant and interpreter unto Dermond M'Moroghe kinge of Leinster and put into frenche meeter by one of his familiar acquaintance.
