Joseph Dunn translation

"Yet another company there came thither to the same hill in Slane of Meath," said macRoth. "Two 3fair,3 tender, young warriors at the head of that company, 5and both wholly alike. Brown, curly hair on the head of one of them; fair, yellow hair on that of the other;5 two green cloaks wrapped about them; two bright-silver brooches in the cloaks over their breasts; two tunics of smooth yellow silk next to their skin; bright-hilted swords on their belts; 6two bright shields with devious figures of beasts in silver;6 two five-pronged spears with windings of pure bright silver in their hands. Moreover, their years were nigh the same. 7Together they lifted their feet and set them down again, for it was not their way for either of them to lift up his feet past the other."7
