In lamentation of him and of Aenghus was said:  From the birth of Christ, body of purity, till the death of Domhnall, according to the chronicles,-- A better guide cannot be found, - one year and ten above nine hundred, The history of this year is heavy mist to fertile Banbha, Aenghus of Meath, the great champion, and Domnhall son of Aedh of Aileach perished. There came not of the Irish a youth like Aenghus of Codail, In the latter ages there was not a royal hero like Domnhall of Dobhail. Heavy sorrow to the Gaeidhil that these chiefs have perished The first two of this spring; their times will be found in the histories.
