6The folk of Ferdiad were not joyful, blithe, cheerful or merry that night,6 *LL. fo. 82b. but they were sad, sorrowful and downcast, for they knew that where the two champions and the two bulwarks in a gap for a hundred, 7the two pillars of battle and strife of the men of Erin7 8of that time8 met in combat, one or other of them would fall there or both would fall, and if it should be one of them, they believed it would be 9their king and9 their own lord 10that would fall there,10 for it was not easy to contend and do battle with Cuchulain on the Raid for the Kine of Cualnge.
