 From the west Queen Maev to battle Marched with seven hundred men; On the plains of royal Ulster Conor took the field again.

Maev upon the plains of Ulster Far surpassed a hero's might, Slew two sons of Conor, vanquished Seven heroes in the fight.

Yet her host was routed, westwards Home she fled, of might bereft; And upon the field of battle Seven times twenty warriors left.

Proudly marched the Ulster heroes Towards the ancient home of Gerg, There they swarmed the walls and plundered All the treasures of the burg.

Bloody was the battle truly That Gerg's folk with Ulster waged, When, to death each other dooming, King and kingly hero raged.
