Elegies and laments include Marbh-Rann do dh’Fhear Thalasgir, anns sa Bhliadhna 1798 (pp. 21-25), Marbh-Rann do Sheumas Domhnullach, Fear Sceaboist (pp. 50-56), Marbhrann do Chaiptein Alastair MacLeoid, anns a Bhattuin (pp. 107-12), Cumha do Theaghlach Ois (p. 112-16), and Cumha Shiorram Farluin (pp. 239-41). These share much of the vocabulary of the eulogies. This includes a set of conventional attributes for female subjects, as in Oran do Mhnaoidh Uasal ann a Gleannagarradh (pp. 124-26): ‘B’ fhoghaintaich thu na Deborah, \\ ’S bha thu cho boidheach ri Iuno, \\ Thu cho geanmnuidh ri Susanna, \\ ’S cho banail ri[th’] ann ’s gach giulan, \\ Bha thu iochdmhor, creidmheach, Diadhaidh, \\ Ma d’ chuid bha thu fialaidh, pairteil, \\ Aig lionmhoreachd do bhuaidhean uasal, \\ Bu tu bhean shuairc’ a bh’aig Nabel’ (pp. 125-26). In Marbh-Rann do dh’Fhear Thalasgir, anns sa Bhliadhna 1798 (pp. 21-25), the standard attributes of a male subject are invoked, e.g.: ‘Cha chuala’ mi fear t-ailleachd, \\ Ann an dreach, na ’n caradh eididh, \\ ’N uair rachadh tu fui’ t-armaibh, \\ Bu neo-chearbach u san leum sin; \\ Le cloidheamh caol chin airgid ort, \\ A’s biodag bhreac na meanbh ghrainin, \\ A’s h-olstair fhrancach gheala-ghleusach, \\ ’S a laimh a dhearbhadh feum leo’ (p. 22).
