“We will go with you,” said Naois.

“We will,” said his brothers.

But Deirdre did not wish to go with Ferchar Mac Ro, and she tried every prayer to turn Naois from going with him–she said:

“I saw a vision, Naois, and do you interpret it to me,” said Deirdre–then she sang:

O Naois, son of Uisnech, hear

What was shown in a dream to me.

There came three white doves out of the South

Flying over the sea,

And drops of honey were in their mouth

From the hive of the honey-bee.
