The poem Mise agus Pangur Bán read aloud

The poem Mise agus Pangur Bán read aloud:



As the note with the vid says: "Dr. Mark Harman recites the 9th century Irish poem "Pangur Bán," (author unknown) in both Irish and an English translation." 

Review the comments for the reader's failure to use séimhiú and urú, which existed in Old Irish but weren't used in the spelling conventions of the time, as well as Old Irish having the 'th' sound as in English 'then'. (The Old English 'ð', as in the Welsh 'dd'.

At least it's a bit of Old Irish.
