Subject: Pronunciation of Gaelic in 'King Orfeo'
Hello, friends. Can anyone help me with the phonetic pronunciation of the end of the first line, and the second and fourth lines?

King Orfeo          A Shetland Ballad

DER lived a king inta da aste,
Scowan ürla grün       (Early green's the wood)   
Der lived a lady in da wast.
Whar giorten han grün oarlac.    (Where the hart goes yearly)

Thank you.
