XXIVa. [1]THE AGITATION OF CELTCHAR[1]

W. 4954. It was then that Celtchar [2]in his sleep[2] uttered these words [3]to Conchobar[3] in the midst of the men of Ulster in Iraird Cuillinn that night:[a]

"Thirty hundred chariot-men;

An hundred horse-companions stout;

An hundred with an hundred druids!

To lead us will not fail

The hero of the land,

Conchobar with hosts around him!
