Joseph Dunn translation
Whereupon, Fergus took his arms and went forward to the battle, 1and he cleared a gap of an hundred in the battle-ranks with his sword in his two hands.1 Ailill seized his weapons. Medb seized her weapons and entered the battle. 2The Manè seized their arms and came to the battle. The macMagach seized their arms and came to the battle,2 so that thrice the Ulstermen were routed before them from the north, till Cualgaec and sword drove them back again. 3Or it was Cuchulain that drove the men of Erin before him, so that he brought them back into their former line in the battle.3
