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
