Thii Liij of the Maireartach. 261And a liuiiilied more of the meu's sons,Oil the further side of Lochlaiin'.s king :Amongst the warriors in turnWas the Oscar making spoil,Till in the thick of the host he slewriie king, though great was his renown.When they saw the king had fallen.Such was their fury and distress,That to the sea they fled in files,And the battle-troops pursuing.Ten score of Lochlann's ' warriors stoodUpon Ben Edar's battle-slope ;And no one bearing arms escaped,Except one warrior to the ships.When he had his full of slaughter,His recompense (?) was seen to be.That, through the spear-holes there might passSharp weapons (?) through the back of Oscar.If thou, perchance, hadst been that dayUpon Ben Edar's battle-slope,A shout such like thou hadst not heard,Since the Feiun's slaughter in one day.'Lit., "kiuf' of Lochlauu'b."
