Joseph Dunn translation
Thus it was with that sword, which was the sword of Fergus: The sword of Fergus, the sword of Letè from Faery: Whenever he desired to strike with it, it became the size of a rainbow in the air. Thereupon Fergus turned his hand slantwise over the heads of the hosts, so that he smote the three tops of the three hills, so that they are still on the moor in sight of 9the men of Erin.9 And these are the three Maels ('the Balds') of Meath in that place, 1which Fergus smote as a reproach and a rebuke to the men of Ulster.1
