 hold you there.

CONCOBAR. Witchcraft has maddened you.

THE KINGS. (shouting) Yes, witchcraft, witchcraft.

A KING. You saw another's head upon his shoulders

All of a sudden, a woman's head Cuchullain,

Then raised your hand against the King of Ullad.

CUCHULLAIN. (letting Concobar go, and looking wildly about him)

Yes, yes, all of a sudden, all of a sudden.

DAIRE. Why there's no witchcraft in it, I myself

Have made a hundred of these sudden friendships

And fought it out next day. But that was folly

For now that I am old I know it is best

To live in comfort.

A KING. Pull the fool away.

DAIRE. I'll throw a heel-tap to the one that dies.

CONCOBAR. Some witch is floating in the air above us.

CUCHULLAIN. Yes, witchcraft, witchcraft and the power of witchcraft. (To the Young Man) 53
