And here together forever shall you and Cuglas dwell, where old age shall never come upon you, and where pain or sorrow or sickness is unknown." A long, long time ago there lived in a little hut on the borders of a great forest a huntsman and his wife and son.
And here together forever shall you and Cuglas dwell, where old age shall never come upon you, and where pain or sorrow or sickness are unknown." A long, long time ago there lived in a little hut on the borders of a great forest a huntsman and his wife and son.
"Cuglas was the son of Donn Desa, King of Leinster, and master of the hounds to the monarch Conairé Mor. Having one day followed the chase from Tara to this road, the chase suddenly disappeared in a cave, into which he followed, and was never seen after.
"Ah, Cuglas, Cuglas," she said, "I gave you three chances, and you failed in all of them." "I should have borne the pain inflicted by the monster's claw," said Cuglas.
The Princess Ailinn was over head and ears in love with Cuglas, and Cuglas was over head and ears in love with the Princess Ailinn, and he believed that never was summer morning half as bright, or as sweet, or as fair as she.
Up the river, close to the bank and under the drooping trees, they sailed, and when they came to a bend in the river, from which the lake could be no longer seen, they pushed their prows in against the bank, and the queen and Cuglas, and all the party, left the boats and went on under the trees until they came to a mossy glade.
The queen and Cuglas stepped into one, and when they were seated two fairy harpers took their places in the prow.
The prince found the queen on the lawn outside the palace surrounded by her court. "We shall go on the lake to-day, Cuglas," said the queen, and taking his arm she led him along the water's edge, all the courtiers following. When she was close to the water she waved her wand, and in a second a thousand boats, shining like glass, shot up from beneath the lake and set their bows against the bank.
While Cuglas was wondering at the change, he heard a strange, unearthly noise ahead of him, and a bristling monster, lifting its claws above the water, in a moment was beside the boat and stuck one of his claws in the left arm of the prince, and pierced the flesh to the bone. Maddened by the pain the prince drew his sword and chopped off the monster's claw.
Lonely they are, I know, in your eyes now," said the little woman; "but maybe," she added, with a laugh as musical as the ripple on a streamlet when summer is in the air, "maybe you won't always think them so lonely." "You think I'll forget Ailinn for the fairy queen," said Cuglas, with a sigh. "I don't think anything of the kind," said she. "Then what do you mean?" said the prince.
