On one occasion, then, the aforementioned Noisiu was alone on the rampart of the earthwork (that is, of Emain) singing in a tenor (?) voice. Melodious, however, was the tenor (?) singing of the Sons of Uisliu. Each cow and each animal that heard [it], two thirds of surplus milk always was milked from them. Each person who heard it always had a sufficient peaceful disposition (?) and musical entertainment. Good also were their arms. Although the [whole] province of the Ulstermen were in one place about them, they might not gain the victory over them on account of the excellence of the parrying and the self-defence, provided that every one of the three of them put his back against the other. As swift as hounds, moreover, they were at hunting. By virtue of [their] swiftness they used to kill the wild animals.
