And the druid made answer, "Whoever comes not, thou thyself shalt come." 2"Wait, then," spake the charioteer," let me wheel the chariot by the right,b that thus the power of a good omen may arise that we return again."2 Then the charioteer wheeled his chariot round and Medb went back 3again,3 when she espied a thing that surprised her: A lone virgin 4of marriageable age4 standing on the hindpole of a chariot a little way off drawing nigh her. And thus the maiden appeared: Weaving lace was she, and in her right hand was a bordering rod of silvered W. 204. bronze with its seven strips of red gold at the sides. A many-spotted green mantle around her; a bulging, strong-headed pin 1of gold1 in the mantle over her bosom; 2a hooded tunic, with red interweaving, about her.2 A ruddy, fair-faced countenance she had, 3narrow below and broad above.3 She had a blue-grey and laughing eye; 4each eye had three pupils.4 5Dark and black were her eyebrows; the soft, black lashes threw a shadow to the middle of her cheeks.5 Red and thin were her lips. Shiny and pearly were her teeth; thou wouldst believe they were showers of white pearls that had rained into her head. Like to fresh Parthian crimson were her lips. As sweet as the strings of lutes 6when long sustained they are played by master players' hands6 was the melodious sound of her voice and her fair speech.
