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

section 132

The Room of Dá Derga.

‘There I beheld another room, with one man therein and in front of him two servants with two manes upon them, one of the two dark, the other fair. Red hair on the warrior, and red eyebrows. Two ruddy cheeks he had, and an eye very blue and beautiful. He wore a green cloak and a shirt with a white hood and a red insertion. In his hand was a sword with a hilt of ivory, and he supplies attendance of every room in the house with ale and food, and he is quick-footed72 in serving the whole host. Liken thou that, O Fer rogain!’
