The Lake, that is, of Len Linnfiaclach, son of Ban Bolgach, son of Bannach. He was the craftsman of Sid Buidb (" Bodb's Fairy-mound"). It is he that was under the lake making the bright vessel of Fann the Long-haired, daughter of Flidais. Every night, after quitting his work, he used to fling his anvil away to the Indeoin na nDese ("The Anvil of the Desi"), to the mound ; and the showers which, thereafter, it used to cast forth from the back, they are the pearls which were there sown by it. Nithnemannach did the same in beating out the cup of Conor mac Nessa in the north. Hence is " Loch Lein" and the " Anvil of the Desi".

A craftsman without a black deed, without reproach,

Distributed bright vessels under heaven.
