Suibhne:
- O Fer Cailli, what has befallen thee?
sad is thy voice;
tell me what has marred thee
in sense or form.Fer Caille:
- I would tell thee my story,
likewise my deeds,
were it not for fear of the proud host
of the king's household.
- Ealadhan am I
who used to go to many combats,
I am known to all
as the leading madman of the glens.Suibhne:
- Suibhne son of Colman am I
from the pleasant Bush;
the easier for us is converse
here, O man.
