The destruction of Da Derga's Hostel (Author: [unknown])

section 124

The Room of the Poets.

‘I beheld another trio there. Three plates of gold over their heads. Three speckled mantles about them: three linen shirts with red insertion: three golden brooches in their mantles: three wooden darts above them on the wall.’

‘Those I know,’ says Fer rogain: ‘the three poets of that king: Sui and Rodui and Fordui: three of the same age, three brothers: three sons of Maphar of the Mighty Song. A man will perish for each of them, and every pair will keep between them one man's victory. Woe to him who shall wreak the Destruction!’ etc.
