Rereading my university diary &, yeah, don’t do university like this… 29/06/04:“I got my exam results back the other week & I passed both of them. I got a 67 for my reading of a historical source exam, which was really good considering I hadn’t even read the historical source”

Help! I am looking for a good translation of Eoghan Ruadh Mac an Bhaird's poem, that begins 'Anocht as uaigneach Éire’ (Ireland is desolate tonight). I have snippets, but not the entire work. Hoping historians of early modern Ireland might be able to help.
