"It is a small run," said the Carl, "but it will do. From this place to the Hill of the Rushes, Slieve Luachra of Munster, is exactly sixty miles. Will that suit you?" "I don't care how it is done," Cael answered. "Then," said the Carl, "we may go off to Slieve Luachra now, and in the morning we can start our race there to here." "Let it be done that way," said Cael.
He's the easiest old boy in the world, but when once he takes the bit between his teeth he is just like Slieve Loon, our new mare. But I must not keep you up Jim; you are wanting to get back to your bed." "It don't matter, sir; don't you hurry yourself.
Southward the eye took in the noble range of the Mourne mountains, running from east to west, from where, at Newcastle, the Irish sea comes to kiss the foot of the lofty Slieve Donard, towering in majesty over all his fellows rugged sentinels of the hills and vales of Down.
They arrived in Tir-Eogain, and allotted the part of it north of Slieve Gullion, now the eastern part of Derry, to Nial Ua Lochlain for two hostages, and allotted the part of the country of the clan to the south of the mountain to Aed Ua Neill for two other hostages.
"No, I won't. I cannot ever. There is more to attend to, Molly; you and I have got to go to Slieve Nagorna immediately after breakfast." Molly did not ask anything further. "I brought your hot water," she said. "You do not want any of the grand English servants to see you look like this." "What a dear old thing you are!" said Nora. "I am so grateful to you."
"Friends and heroes," said Conn, "Aillen, the son of Midna, will come to-night from Slieve Fuaid with occult, terrible fire against our city. Is there among you one who loves Tara and the king, and who will undertake our defence against that being?" He spoke in silence, and when he had finished he listened to the same silence, but it was now deep, ominous, agonized.
There is a stream that runs into the Boyne beside it, and there are bulwarks around it, and great strong barriers." Laeg answered, "That is the dun of the sons of Nectan." "Let us now leave Slieve Modurn," said Cuculain, "and guide thither my horses, for I shall lay waste that dun, and burn it with fire, after having slain the men who dwell there."
And what he sang was a song he had heard or had made one time in his wanderings on Slieve Echtge, and the words of it as they can be put into English were like this: O Death's old bony finger Will never find us there In the high hollow townland Where love's to give and to spare; Where boughs have fruit and blossom At all times of the year; Where rivers are running over With red beer and brown beer.
When they rode away from that place, leaving the two men buried under cairns, Brian was well assured that there would be no more ravaging by his men, though they died of hunger. However, it proved that there was no great chance of this, for Brian drove such a storm past Slieve Aughty as had not been heard of in generations.
Three darlings of the women of Britain; three hawks of Slieve Cuilenn; sons of a king served by valour, to whom warriors did obedience. Three heroes not good at homage; their fall is a cause of sorrow; three sons of the sister of a king; three props of the army of Cuailgne.
