Have hunted with eager hounds.
On the fair brows of blue Ben-Gulbin
The sun its bright rays has shed,
Where Finn oft pursued the chase,
And the streamlets ran down blood-red.
Come, harken a little; I sing
Of one of these heroes great—
Of Ben-Gulbin and generous Finn;
Of Diarmad’s sorrowful fate.
In other versions the name of Gràine and her elopement with Diarmad are introduced here, as well as some sharp colloquy between the latter and Finn.
