Page:The courtship of Ferb (Leahy).djvu/130



I give you my assurance, O Fiannamail, since you are very skilful, that of the Ulster men—without concealment— only a single pair came back alive.

Who are the two who came back? What is the condition of the men? what their names? and whither are they gone from hence who have done a great thing for our hurt?

Conor and Brod, without deceit, are they who have come back from the battle; two spears through Conor himself, and three of them through Brod, not far from that.

Who has wounded Conor the crooked? Who has put him into an evil state? Not lucky his going without prohibition, if he has a desire for healing!
