“Oh, musha, the death-bands on you both! Am I not sorry that ever I left harbour or haven with you? If you two tied him, I would keep a knee on him, and Bioultach would be alive to me at the end of an hour.”
“Oh, I think that I could tie him by myself.”
The ragged green man threw him, and the two champions went and tied him tightly.
“Oh! ease the knot on me a little.”
