NAISI.

I have been taken like a bird or a fish.

CONCHUBAR.

He cried ‘Beast, beast!’ and in a blind-beast rage

He ran at me and fell into the nets,

But we were careful for your sake, and took him

With all the comeliness that woke desire

Unbroken in him. I being old and lenient—

I would not hurt a hair upon his head.

DEIDRE.
