Note 1-1 — Footnotes.

Joseph Dunn translation

1They passed the night there.1 Larinè longed for day with its full light 2to go2 to attack Cuchulain. At the early day-dawn on the morrow he came, 3and the maiden came too to embolden him,3 and he brought a wagon-load of arms with him, and he came on to the ford to encounter Cuchulain. The mighty warriors of the camp and station considered it not a goodly enough sight to view the combat of Larinè; only the women and boys and girls, 4thrice fifty of them,4 went to scoff and to jeer at his battle.
