Not to your father's castle nor to your mother's will I go to dwell; but make me a castle for which your father's castle will not make washing water." "You rider of the black horse, make that," said Prince Underwaves, "before the morrow's sun rises." The lad went out to the horse and leaned his elbow on his neck and sighed, thinking that this castle never could be made for ever.
"Son of King Underwaves," said the rider of the black horse, "don't think that you have a false sight; this is a true sight." "That's true," said the prince. "You are a son of success, but I am a son of success, too. There will be no more mistakes and delays, but a wedding now." "No," said she. "The time is come. Should we not go to look at the castle?
Where should he think of being when he mounted but in the Realm Underwaves. He went, and before sunrise on the morrow he was there. What should he find when he got there but the son of the King Underwaves holding a court, and the people of the realm gathered to see if there was any one who would undertake to go to seek the daughter of the King of the Greeks to be the prince's wife.
"Come then, yourself, and mount before me," said she; "I won't leave the matter so." He mounted the horse and she behind him, and before she glanced from her she was nearer sky than earth. He was in Realm Underwaves with her before sunrise. "You are come," said Prince Underwaves. "I am come," said he. "There you are, my hero," said the prince. "You are the son of a king, but I am a son of success.
The well was made, and it was seven fathoms deep and two or three fathoms wide, and they looked at the well on the way to the wedding. "It is all very good," said she, "but for one little fault yonder." "Where is it?" said Prince Underwaves. "There," said she. He bent him down to look. She came out, and she put her two hands at his back, and cast him in. "Be thou there," said she.
"You rider of the black horse," said the Prince Underwaves, "I set you under spells and under crosses unless the silver cup is here before dawn to-morrow." Out the lad went and reached the horse and leaned his elbow on his mane, and he heaved a sigh. "Sigh of a king's son under spells!" said the horse; "mount and you shall get the silver cup.
In other words, he was forbidden to charge her with her supernatural character. When Diarmaid, the daughter of King Underwaves, comes in the form of a beggar to Fionn and insists on sharing his couch, she becomes a beautiful girl, and consents to marry him on condition that he does not say to her thrice how he found her.
But when the cup comes round to you, take it under your oxter, and come out to me with it, and we'll go." Away they went and they got to Greece, and he went into the palace and did as the black horse bade. He took the cup and came out and mounted, and before sunrise he was in the Realm Underwaves. "You are come," said Prince Underwaves. "I am come," said he.
He reached the mountains, and he leaped the horse at the fire mountain and was on the top. From the mountain of fire he leaped to the mountain of ice, and from the mountain of ice to the mountain of snow. He put the mountains past him, and by morning he was in Realm Underwaves. "You are come," said the prince. "I am," said he. "That's true," said Prince Underwaves.
"There never came a turn in my road yet that is easier for me to pass than this," said the black horse. The lad gave a glance from him and saw all that were there, and ever so many wrights and stone masons at work, and the castle was ready before the sun rose. He shouted at the Prince Underwaves, and he saw the castle. He tried to pluck out his eye, thinking that it was a false sight.
