Lo, the warning fire\nThat gives the signal we are seen from shore \n\nNAISI.\nWhat concourse this that waits us on the beach ? \n\nFERGUS\nMethinks 'tis Barach's ensign I discern,\nOur well-loved, valiant Brother of the Branch.\nYea, it is he : and yonder, by my life.\nTwo not unworthy, hopeful candidates\nFor brotherly admittance, my own sons.\nDark Buino Borb, and Ulan Finn the Fair. \n\nBARACH.\nWelcome to Fergus. Push the plank to shore.\nDescend, fair daughter. Sons of Usnach, hail I \n\nFERGUS.\nMy noble brother Barach ! Nay, great sir,\n'Tis not for thee to be our cup-bearer. \n\nBARACH.\nTo better use could none commend the cup,\nNor goblet offer from a riper cask. \n\nFERGUS.\nWine, this, the king of the world might drink and die. \n\nBARACH.\nDrink, and long live. And, noble Naisi, thou\nDrink too. \n\nNAISI.\nThis cup to health and thanks : no more. \n\nBARACH.\nWhat, Fergus, thou must sup with me to-night ? \n\nFERGUS.\nI pray thee, Barach, hold me as excused.\nWe journey hastily, as thou may'st see.\nFetch forth the chariots. Have the posts been warned ? \n\nBUINO.\nRelays are ready, and the inns prepared. \n","Type":"Text"}}]
