"Yet another company there came to the same hill in Slane of Meath," said macRoth. "A large, noble, 5fiery5 man at the head of that company; foxy-red hair he had; huge, crimson-red eyes in his head; bulging as far as the bend of a warrior's finger is either of the very large crimson, kingly eyes he had; a many-coloured cloak about him; 6a wheel-shaped brooch of silver therein;6 a grey shield he bore 7on his left arm;7 a slender, blue lance above him; 8a bright, hooded shirt tucked around him that reached down to his knees;8 9a sword with silver hilt at his hip; a spear remarkable for keenness in his revengeful right hand;9 a blood-smeared, becrimsoned company W. 5414. around him; himself covered with wounds and blood in their midst."
