Laeg proceeds to Lugaid’s tent.  Lugaid bids him welcome. [5]"Welcome to thy coming and arrival, O Laeg,” said Lugaid.[5] “I take that welcome as truly meant,” Laeg replied.  “It is truly meant for thee,” quoth Lugaid, [6]"and thou shalt have entertainment here to-night."[6] [7]"Victory and blessing shalt thou have,” said Laeg; “but not for entertainment am I come, but[7] to hold converse with thee am I come from [8]thine own friend and companion and[8] foster-brother, [9]from Cuchulain,[9] that thou mayest tell me whether Ferbaeth [10]was smitten."[10] “He was,” answered Lugaid, “and a blessing on the hand that smote him, for he fell dead in the valley a while ago.”  “Tell me who [11]of the men of Erin[11] comes to-morrow to [12]combat and[12] fight with Cuchulain [13]at the morning hour early on the morrow?"[13] “They are persuading a brother of mine own to go meet him, a foolish, haughty arrogant youth, yet dealing stout blows and stubborn. [14]And he has agreed to do the battle and combat.[14] And it is to this end they will send him to fight Cuchulain, that he, my brother, may fall at his hands, so that I myself must then go to avenge him upon Cuchulain.  But I will not go there till the very day of doom.  Larine great-grandson [W.2211.] of Blathmac is that brother. [1]And, do thou tell Cuchulain to come to Ferbaeth’s Glen and[1] I will go [2]thither[2] to speak with Cuchulain about him,” said Lugaid.

[3]Laeg betook him to where Cuchulain was.[3] Lugaid’s two horses were taken and his chariot was yoked to them [4]and[4] he came [5]to Glen Ferbaeth[5] to his tryst with Cuchulain, so that a parley was had between them. [6]The two champions and battle-warriors gave each other welcome.[6] Then it was that Lugaid spake:  [7]"There is no condition that could be promised to me for fighting and combating with thee,” said Lugaid, “and there is no condition on which I would undertake it, but[7] they are persuading a
