''Di chíanaib'') complains that time goes by slowly since he has been cut off from any contact with Líadain. Líadain (1 q) imagines what a bewildered impression Cuirithir must now leave on scholars (''rétairi'') who are unaware of his situation. Cummíne (1 q) protests, saying that Cuirithir has never been mad (''mer''). Líadain then recalls (1 q) that what happened that Friday (i.e. the night when they slept together) was not “camping on honey-pastures / on the fleece of her white couch / in Cuirithir’s arms” (tr. Meyer). | ||

When Líadain is looking for him, she utters a sad poem (10 qq) beg. ''Cen áinius''.
