I saw the household of Finn; it was not the household of a soft race;
I had a vision of that man yesterday.
I saw the household of the High King, he with the brown sweet-voiced
son; I never saw a better man.
I saw the household of Finn; no one saw it as I saw it; I saw Finn
with the sword, Mac an Luin. Och! it was sorrowful to see it.
I cannot tell out every harm that is on my head; free us from our
trouble for ever; I have seen the household of Finn.
(Lady Augusta Gregory)
