This is the sing-song translation attributed to Robin Flowers. All this time I've been naive, Pangur Ban is quite a read.
Quoted:
So in peace our tasks we ply,
Pangur Ban, my cat and I;
In our arts we find our bliss,
I have mine, and he has his.

Inspired by Carol to InterTube my way to the original Irish text.

This was a much more enjoyable translation for me to read. Comparing the two translations (Heaney's to Flowers') offers fascinating reflections on style, bias, skill, taste, audience, etc.
Thanks, Carol!
