Was it from pity
You taught the woman to prevail against me?
FIGURE of CUCHULAIN
You know my nature—by what name I am called.
WOMAN of the SIDHE
Was it from pity that you hid the truth
That men are bound to women by the wrongs
They do or suffer?
FIGURE of CUCHULAIN
You know what being I am.
WOMAN of the SIDHE
I have been mocked and disobeyed—your power
Was more to you than my good-will, and now
I'll have you learn what my ill-will can do;
I lay you under bonds upon the instant
To stand before our King and face the charge
And take the punishment.
