Keen was their instant aim, Deadly the stones they sent'from staves well-bent that day, Hissing like snakes of the air. The stone from Ainli's hand Smote the King's crest, and shore his griffin's golden wing ; And many a man fell slain. Seven times the Irish leaped And slang, and bent their heads reloading, ere the van Of Alba rushing came to scale the dun, and fierce, Spear to spear, axe to axe, they grappled at the fosse. But when the King's wild horde with axes hewed their way Through the to...ugh wattled walls, or vaulting with their spears Leaped over them to death, Ainli, with scarce a man Hard hit or slain outright, with axes and great spears Charged from the rearward gate, and through the thronging foe, Like a tall herd of elks dashing with gory horns The yelling pack aside, made desperate way, and sought With swift and sudden rush the safety of the hills. Then was a noble race ; for, straining after them, The Red King urged the chase. There Ainli, Swift of Foot, Shewed him new deeds of war, as up the mountain-side, Easily as o'er the plain, he sped, drawing as he ran The swiftest in pursuit, then, fiercely turning, slew With sword or spear ; and so, still fighting, fled the band.
