CONCHUBAR.

You play with arguments as lawyers do,

And put no heart in them. I know your thoughts,

For we have slept under the one cloak and drunk

From the one wine cup. I know you to the bone.

I have heard you cry, aye in your very sleep,

‘I have no son,’ and with such bitterness

That I have gone upon my knees and prayed

That it might be amended.

CUCHULAIN.
