That we CAN do! O'Muirithe's (Irish language)book on macaronics has a version with the phonetics rendered in modern Irish. It may take a while to transcribe - but I'll do it when I get a chance.

p.s. Not sure of the implication of "words that pre-dated the English verses that we have"... Do we have any evidence that there was a monoglot original?
