130 DIALOGUE.
The slender-footed Ceirn fell there, Cruadhan
and Hugh of the large coronet : three most dex-
terous in strength, and of good speed in deeds of
the sword.
Largara so tall fell there, Ciardan Donn so hu-
mane in mind, Gorgan who would destroy bones,
Mianan and Glaire who were mighty.
There fell Folban victorious, Bosan, Luaine,
Daoise, and Laig : Cianan, Leantar, and Gaine
mild, Drualaod, Blaod, and Ciantair.
The lively Cuarnan fell there, Rinne, Gloirne,
Ciar and Braid : Bellaire, Cuirnin and merry
Mandan, Laisne, Frach, Niall, and Glas.
There fell also Mullan of the Spirits, severe in
dangerous battle : and many others, O new Pa-
trick, of whom I do not make mention, fell in the
same place.
Those who survived the battle collected them-
selves together : we all spoke of going a-huntin^
on the shores of Loch-Leun.*
-^- Loch Leun was the ancient Irish name for the Lake of
Killarney.
