The Death of the Sons of Uisnech. 117
And he betook himself to her on a visit,
When returning from the host of Inverness.
When I heard that
My head filled full of jealousy:
I set my shallop on a wave:
Alike to me was death or perishing.
They followed me as it floated,
Ainnle and Ardán who never told a lie.
They turned me homewards,
The twain that would beat in battle a hundred.
Naisi gave a true word,
And thrice he swore in presence of his weapons,
That he would not cause me gloom
Till he should go from me to the host of the dead.
Ah if she heard tonight
That Naisi was under cover in clay
She would weep always,
And I should weep sevenfold with her!
What wonder that I myself have fondness
For the region of Scotland of smooth way?
Safe was my husband amidst it:
Its steeds and its gold were my own.
And in Deirdre's last song (Fada an lá gan clainn JJis-
neacli) there are many differences between II and LVI. According
to II, after singing this song, she leaped into the grave on Nai-
si's neck, and died forthwith (A haithle an laeidlie sin, do ling
Déirdre air muin Naeise 'san ffert, acas fuair has gan moill).
The story then ends as follows:
Acas do tógbadh a liac ós a lecht, da scribhadh an-anmana
oghaim, acas do feradh a ccluithche caeinte. Do mallaigh Cath-
bhadh drai Emain do cinn mac 1 Uisnigh do riiarbhadh innte
air inchuibh Fherguis, acas tar éis Chonchobhair do thabhairt
1 mic, O'Fl.
