At Garech and Ilgarech,

On the morning after the morrow!

[4]Heroes will be slaughtered then,

Hounds cut to pieces,

Steeds overwhelmed!"[4]

On that same night, Dubthach Doel ('the Scorpion')[b] of Ulster [5]saw the dream wherein were the hosts at Garech and Ilgarech. Then it was[5] he uttered these words [6]in his sleep[6] among the men of Erin at Slemain Midè that night:—

"Great be the morn,

The morn of Meath!

Great be the truce

The [7]truce[7] of Culenn!
