Of this battle was said: Fierce and hard was the Wednesday On which hosts were strewn under the feet of sheilds: It shall be called, till Judgment's day, The destructive morning of Ath-cliath, On which fell Niall, the noble hero: Conchobhar, chief of fierce valour; Aedh, son of valiant Eochaidh of Ulidia; Maelmithidh of the proud, lofty dignity. Many a countenance of well-known Gaeidhil, Many a chief of grey-haired heros, Of the sons of queens and kings, Were slain at Ath-claith of swords. The strenght of a brave lord was subdued. Alas that he was deceived in the strenght of an army, There would otherwise be no moan upon the strand. Fierce was the hard Wednesday!
