To shore \" cried Ingcel ; and the fleet,\nAs flight of wild-geese startled from a fen,\nDisplayed their wings of white, and made the land. \n\n'Twas at Troy Furveen, and the sun was down ;\nBut, from Da-Derga's hall so streamed the light,\nIt shone at distance as a ruddy star ;\nAnd thitherward the host o'er moor and fell\nMarched straight : but when behind a sheltering knoll\nHard by, but still concealed, the ranks were drawn,\nni Make now our earn,\" said Ingcel, and the host\nDefiling past him, cast, each man, his stone\nAll in one heap.\n\" When this night's work is done,\"\nSaid Ingcel, \" he who shall return alive\nShall take his stone again. Who not returns.\nHis stone shall here remain his monument.\nAnd now, before we make the trial of who\nReturns, and who stays yonder, let us send\nScout Milscoth \u2014 for he bears the boast of sight\nAnd far-off hearing far above us all \u2014\nTo spy the house and bring us speedy word\nOf all he sees and hears, outside and in :\nSo shall we judge how best to win the same.\" \n\nForth went the spy : they waited by their earn,\nTill, gliding as a shadow, he returned :\nAnd round him, as he came, they drew a ring,\nRound him and Ingcel and Don Dessa's sons.\nAnd round their destined stones of memory.\n\" What sawest thou outward ? \"\n\" Outward of the house \n","Type":"Text"}}]
