THE GREEN HELMET

Cuchulain

No, no, but give it me.
[He takes Helmet]

Conall

The Helmet's mine or Laegaire's—you're the youngest of us three.


Cuchulain

[Filling Helmet with ale]

I did not take it to keep it—the Red Man gave it for one,

But I shall give it to all—to all of us three or to none;
That is as you look upon it—we will pass it to and fro,
And time and time about, drink out of it and so
