A reprise of the introduction as Cu Chulainn tries to frighten off his
Friend Ferdia from a battle he knows will end in his death.
Gae Bolga is the name of Cu Chulainn’s supernatural spear.
«Everthing I say» Cuchulainn cried,
«Is larger far than life itself».
But Ferdia just grinned and shook his
golden hair.
«And everything I do is ringed about
With fantasy». But Ferdia just laughed
And shook his silver spear and fell to
battle again.
«Every step I take» Cuchulainn cried,
«is measured out in centuries».
But Ferdia just laughed and shook his
golden mane.
«And now I must make my stand; for
your death
Is my destiny». But Ferdia just laughed
And shook his silver spear and fell to
battle again.
