The author transcribes a Gaelic poem "Song by a Priest to a Lady after her death", using both the orignal text and the modern form of Gaelic. He uses this example as a vehicle to discuss the orthographic issues faced by Gaelic writers who use the Roman alphabet. He also briefly expands this argument to other Celtic languages, particularly Irish Gaelic.
