158 The Death of the Sons of Usnech.
137. They bore away that night till the early-bright morning
came on the morrow. And Naisi and Fergus arose and sat
in the galley, and came on along the sea and mighty main
till they arrived at the fortress of Borrach son of Annte. And
Deirdre looked behind her at the territories of Scotland, and
this she said: "My love to thee, you land in the east!"
saith she; "and it is sad for me to leave the sides of thy
havens and thy harbours and thy smooth -flowered, delightful,
lovely plains, and thy bright green -sided hills. And little did
we need to make that . . . ." And she sang the lay:
146. A loveable land (is) yon land in the east,
Alba with its marvels.
I would not have come hither out of it
Had I not come with Naisi.
Loveable are Dún-fidga and Dún-finn,
Loveable the fortress over them,
Loveable Inis Draigende,
And loveable Dún Suibni.
154. Caill Cuan!
Unto which Ainnle would wend, alas!
It was short I thought the time
And Naisi in the region of Alba.
Glenn Laid!
I used to sleep under a fair rock.
Fish and venison and badger's fat
This was my portion in Glenn Laid.
162. Glenn Masáin!
Tall its garlic, white its branchlets:
We used to have an unsteady sleep
Over the grassy estuary of Masán.
