Note 3-3 — Footnotes.
Joseph Dunn translation
Thereat for the third time, Cuchulain arose with the speed of the wind, and the swiftness of a swallow, and the dash of a dragon, and the strength (of a lion) 3into the clouds3 of the air, till he alighted on the boss of the shield of Ferdiad son of Daman, so as to reach his head that he might strike it from above over the rim of his shield. Then it was that the battle-warrior gave the shield a 4violent and powerful4 shake, so that Cuchulain flew from it into the middle of the ford, the same as if he had not sprung at all.
