hold you there.
CONCOBAR.
Witchcraft has maddened you.
THE KINGS.
(shouting) Yes, witchcraft, witchcraft.
A KING.
You saw another's head upon his shoulders
All of a sudden, a woman's head Cuchullain,
Then raised your hand against the King of Ullad.
CUCHULLAIN.
(letting Concobar go, and looking wildly about him)
Yes, yes, all of a sudden, all of a sudden.
DAIRE.
Why there's no witchcraft in it, I myself
Have made a hundred of these sudden friendships
And fought it out next day. But that was folly
For now that I am old I know it is best
To live in comfort.
A KING.
Pull the fool away.
DAIRE.
I'll throw a heel-tap to the one that dies.
CONCOBAR.
Some witch is floating in the air above us.
CUCHULLAIN.
Yes, witchcraft, witchcraft and the power of witchcraft. (To the Young Man)
