The Courtship of Ferb
Ferb.
Well, the death of noble Conor
Vengeance were, yet none too great;
Never Mani's match in honour
Lived, nor shall in Connaught's state.
Donnell.
Now, for Mani's slaughter paying,
Famous Conor's death is nigh;
Ferb, my hand shall do the slaying,
Niall and Ferdach with him die!
Ferb.
Donnell Derg, had you, contending
Here with Ulster, died for me;
Glorious vengeance for your ending
All from Mani's deeds would see.
Donnell.
In his warrior might lies yonder
Mani Morgor, dead to-day.
From my western home I'll wander
Till all Ulster for him pay!
