Martin, bobby bob agus Philippa. Thank you all for your interest. The earlist occurrences of Latin/Irish lyrics date from the 7th Century and the "Deus Meus Adiuva Me" is a composition of the cleric Maol Íosa Ó Brolcháin who wrote in the 11th Century. This latter is still to be heard occasionally !! It has been recorded by several artists, including "na Filí" if my failing faculties delude me not. Your version, Philippa, contains some textual innaccuracies which I here set right, i gcead duit:- do dhearc = do shearc; a mhíchíl = a Mhic dhíl Dé; a ghrian ghlan gle = a ghrian ghlan ghlé; next verse- Tuum amoren sicut vis, Tabhair domh go tréan a déarfad arís (bis) Tuum amorem sicut vis.
