bitterly�察 �the strong men turned their faces aside�察 �and the little children
sobbed。
Again the Dagda touched the strings�察�and this time the magic Music of
Mirth leaped from the harp。 And when they heard that Music of Mirth�察�the
young warriors of the Fomorians began to laugh�察�they laughed till the cups
fell from their grasp�察�and the spears dropped from their hands�察�while the
wine flowed from the broken bowls�察�they laughed until their limbs were
helpless with excess of glee。
Once more the Dagda touched his harp�察�but very�察�very softly。 And now
a music stole forth as soft as dreams�察�and as sweet as joy�此�it was the magic
Music of Sleep。 When they heard that�察 �gently�察 �gently�察 �the Fomorian
women bowed their heads in slumber�察 �the little children crept to their
mothers' laps�察 �the old men nodded�察 �and the young warriors drooped in
their seats and closed their eyes�此�one after another all the Fomorians sank
into sleep。
When they were all deep in slumber�察�the Dagda took his magic harp�察�
and he and his golden´haired warriors stole softly away�察 �and came in
safety to their own homes again。
THE TAILOR AND THE THREE BEASTS��1�А�
��1�А�From Beside the Fire�察�Douglas Hyde ��David Nutt�察�London��。
There was once a tailor in Galway�察�and he started out on a journey to
go to the king's court at Dublin。
He had not gone far till he met a white horse�察�and he saluted him。
;God save you�察─�said the tailor。
;God save you�察─�said the horse。 ;Where are you going�拭─�
;I am going to Dublin�察─�said the tailor�察 �to build a court for the king
and to get a lady for a wife�察�if I am able to do it。; For�察�it seems the king
had promised his daughter and a great lot of money to any one who should
be able to build up his court。 The trouble was�察�that three giants lived in the
wood near the court�察�and every night they came out of the wood and threw
down all that was built by day。 So nobody could get the court built。
;Would you make me a hole�察─ �said the old white garraun�察 �where I

could go a´hiding whenever the people are for bringing me to the mill or
the kiln�察�so that they won't see me�察�for they have me perished doing work
for them。;
;I'll do that�察�indeed�察─�said the tailor�察 �and welcome。;
He brought his spade and shovel�察�and he made a hole�察�and he said to
the old white horse to go down into it till he would see if it would fit him。
The white horse went down into the hole�察�but when he tried to come up
again�察�he was not able。
;Make a place for me now�察─�said the white horse�察 �by which I'll come
up out of the hole here�察�whenever I'll be hungry。;
;I will not�察─�said the tailor�察 �remain where you are until I come back�察�
and I'll lift you up。;
The tailor went forward next day�察�and the fox met him。
;God save you�察─�said the fox。
;God save you�察─�said the tailor。
;Where are you going�察─�said the fox。
;I'm going to Dublin�察�to try will I be able to make a court for the king。;
;Would you make a place for me where I'd go hiding�拭─�said the fox。
;The rest of the foxes do be beating me�察�and they don't allow me to eat
anything with them。;
;I'll do that for you�察─�said the tailor。
He took his axe and his saw�察�and he made a thing like a crate�察�and he
told the fox to get into it till he would see whether it would fit him。 The
fox went into it�察�and when the tailor got him down�察�he shut him in。 When
the fox was satisfied at last that he had a nice place of it within�察�he asked
the tailor to let him out�察�and the tailor answered that he would not。
;Wait there until I come back again�察─�says he。
The tailor went forward the next day�察�and he had not walked very far
until he met a modder´alla�察�and the lion greeted him。
;God save you�察─�said the lion。
;God save you�察─�said the tailor。
;Where are you going�拭─�said the lion。
;I'm going to Dublin till I make a court for the king if I'm able to make
it�察─�said the tailor。

;If you were to make a plough for me�察─�said the lion�察 �I and the other
lions could be ploughing and harrowing until we'd have a bit to eat in the
harvest。;
;I'll do that for you�察─�said the tailor。
He brought his axe and his saw�察 �and he made a plough。 When the
plough was made he put a hole in the beam of it�察�and he said to the lion to
go in under the plough till he'd see was he any good of a ploughman。 He
placed the lion's tail in the hole he had made for it�察�and then clapped in a
peg�察�and the lion was not able to draw out his tail again。
;Loose me out now�察─ �said the lion�察 �and we'll fix ourselves and go
ploughing。;
The tailor said he would not loose him out until he came back himself。
He left him there then�察�and he came to Dublin。
When he came to Dublin�察�he got workmen and began to build the court。
At the end of the day he had the workmen put a great stone on top of the
work。 When the great stone was raised up�察 �the tailor put some sort of
contrivance under it�察�that he might be able to throw it down as soon as the
giant would come as far as it。 The workpeople went home then�察�and the
tailor went in hiding behind the big stone。
When the darkness of the night was come�察 �he saw the three giants
arriving�察�and they began throwing down the court until they came as far as
the place where the tailor was in hiding up above�察 �and a man of them
struck a blow of his sledge on the place where he was。 The tailor threw
down the stone�察�and it fell on him and killed him。 They went home then
and left all of the court that was remaining without throwing it down�察�since
a man of themselves was dead。
The tradespeople came again the next day�察 �and they were working
until night�察�and as they were going home the tailor told them to put up the
big stone on the top of the work�察�as it had been the night before。 They did
that for him�察�went home�察�and the tailor went in hiding the same as he did
the evening before。
When the people had all gone to rest�察�the two giants came�察�and they
were throwing down all that was before them�察�and as soon as they began�察�
they put two shouts out of them。 The tailor was going on manoeuvring

until he threw down the great stone�察�and it fell upon the skull of the giant
that was under him�察�and it killed him。 There was only the one giant left in
it then�察�and he never came again until the court was finished。
Then when the work was over�察�the tailor went to the king and told him
to give him his wife and his money�察�as he had the court finished�察�and the
king said he would not give him any wife until he would kill the other
giant�察�for he said that it was not by his strength he killed the two giants
before that�察 �and that he would give him nothing now until he killed the
other one for him。 Then the tailor said that he would kill the other giant for
him�察�and welcome�察�that there was no delay at all about that。
The tailor went then till he came to the place where the other giant was�察�
and asked did he want a servant´boy。 The giant said he did want one�察�if he
could get one who would do everything that he would do himself。
;Anything that you will do�察�I will do it�察─�said the tailor。
They went to their dinner then�察�and when they had it eaten�察�the giant
asked the tailor ;would it come with him to swallow as much broth as
himself�察�up out of its boiling。; The tailor said�察 �It will come with me to do
that�察�but that you must give me an hour before we begin on it。; The tailor
went out then�察�and he got a sheep´ skin�察�and he sewed it up till he made a
bag of it�察�and he slipped it down under his coat。 He came in then and said
to the giant to drink a gallon of the broth himself first。 The giant drank that
up out of its boiling。 ;I'll do that�察─�said the tailor。 He was going on until he
had it all poured into the skin�察�and the giant thought he had it drunk。 The
giant drank another gallon then�察�and the tailor let anoth
