in the Courtship of Ferb
Donnell.
Since he himself it is who is dead,
Mani Morgor with the greatness of a warrior,
I will not go westwards to my home
while any of the Ulstermen live!
Ferb.
It would be peace for my good heart,
it would be a comfort for my soul,
if all the Ulstermen were destroyed for the deed
they have done,
by your violent hand, O Donnell!
XI
Sorrowful is it, O son of Maev!
O beautiful and skilful youth,
Bloody and red is your skin,
from you has our ill fortune come.
It is through you that my father has been slain
he was a good warrior, a good vassal.
Through you has his son been slain;
not easy for me to forget it.
