A CONTENTION

1

Tadhg Dall Ó Huiginn sang:

The Macawards, mangy whelps, blind [...](?) of the Conall kindred; stuttering bards without a qualified poet over them; alas for any who is in their company.

A rejoinder from Mac an Bhaird:

The banner of the foray of Conn's land is half-blind (?) Tadhg Ó Huiginn; is it not woeful for any who met that devil of a blind fellow who was whetted in the cave of hell?
