From the one weighty matter. That very woman—

For I know well that you are praising Aoife—

Now hates you and will leave no subtilty

Unknotted that might run into a noose

About your throat, no army in idleness

That might bring ruin on this land you serve.

CUCHULAIN.

No wonder in that, no wonder at all in that.

I never have known love but as a kiss

In the mid-battle, and a difficult truce
