1After this colloquy, Ferdiad spake:1 "How much soever thou findest fault with me to-day," said Ferdiad, 2"for my ill-boding mien and evil doing, it will be as an offset to my prowess." And he said,2 "To what weapons shall we resort to-day?" "With thyself is the choice of weapons to-day till night time," replied Cuchulain, "for it is I that chose on the day gone by." "Let us resort, then," said Ferdiad, "to our heavy, hard-smiting swords this day, for we trow that the smiting each other will bring us nearer to the decision of battle to-day than was our piercing each other on yesterday." "Let us go then, by all means," responded Cuchulain.
