and ask him who will come against me tomorrow. Láeg goes forward to Lugaid's tent. Lugaid welcomed him. I trust that welcome said Láeg. You may trust it said Lugaid. I have come to speak with you on behalf of your fosterbrother that you may tell me if Fer Báeth reached the camp. He did said Lugaid, and a blessing on the hand that smote him for he fell dead in the glen a short timeThen Láiríne mac Nóis was summoned to the tent of Ailill and Medb and Finnabair was placed beside him. It was she who used to serve him goblets and she who used to kiss him at every drink and she who used to hand him his food. Not to all and sundry does Medb give the liquor that is served to Fer Báeth or to Láiríne said Finnabair. She brought only fifty wagon-loads of it to the camp. Whom do you mean? asked Ailill. I mean that man yonder said she. Who is he? asked Ailill. Often you paid attention to something that was not certain. It were more fitting for you to bestow attention on the couple who are best in wealth and honour and dignity of all those in Ireland, namely, Finnabair and Láiríne mac Nóis. That is how I see them said Ailill. Then in his joy Láiríne flung himself about so that the seams of the flockbeds under him burst and the green before the camp was strewn with their feathers.

He came in the early morning on the morrow and brought with him a wagon-load of weapons, and he came on to the ford to encounter Cú Chulainn. The mighty warriors in the camp did not think it worth their while to go and watch Láiríne's fight, but the women and boys and girls scoffed and jeered at his fight. Cú Chulainn came to the ford to encounter Láiríne, but he scorned to bring any weapons and came unarmed to meet him. He struck all Láiríne's weapons out of his hand as one might deprive
That is the Fight of Láiríne on the Foray of Cúailnge.
