Joseph Dunn translation
9And he gave his word in the presence of them all that he would go and meet Cuchulain. For it pleased Medb, if Ferdiad should fail to go, to have them as a witness against him, in order that she might say it was fear or dread that caused him to break his word.9 "A blessing 10and victory10 upon thee for that!" said Medb; "it pleaseth me more than for thee to show fear and lack of boldness. For every man loves his own land, and how is it better for him to seek the welfare of Ulster, 11because his mother was descended from the Ulstermen,11 than for thee to seek the welfare of Connacht,2 12as thou art the son of a king of Connacht?"12
