thou victorious land of women,
It is pleasant to enumerate thy noble tribes
and their virtues at all times.

Tromdámh Guaire is an Irish piece of prose satire about the relationship between the patron and poet and the abuse of privilege. Although the text itself is difficult to date, it is believed to have been composed no earlier than 1300. The only surviving copy of this text is found in the manuscript Leabhar Mhic Cárthaigh Riabhaigh or the Book of Lismore which itself dates to the fifteenth century. The story is set in seventh-century Ireland and is a literary showcase and parody of the practice of satire that was common among professional poets at the time. Tromdámh Guaire takes on a humorous look at the Bardic Order which a twelfth-century audience would have been aware of in order to "fully appreciate the biting sarcasm and satire contained in the narrative". This retrospective view does not give us an insight into seventh century Ireland, rather the twelfth-century perceptions of seventh century Ireland.
