in the Courtship of Ferb
Ferb.
Ochone! Ochone!
Do you know it not, Fiannamail?
Mani is fallen,
and with him all his forces.
Fian.
Who has caused the cruel war?
Who has glittered (in arms) at the overthrow?
and who has slain Mani?
and are they in like place?
Ferb.
The Ulster men came from the North
With their might of red-sworded war;
so that they took the house against us,
with three times fifty bold warriors.
Fian.
The tale shall go against the men of Ulster,
they are guilty without being hurt.
They shall be slain west and east,
if the men of Connaught yet remain in life.
