Summary
A song about the time Caoilte killed the five-headed monster. He knocked him over and struck the five heads from his neck. Afterwards he lay on the ground, greatly wounded. He asks, "Where is the young woman who would make kindly conversation with me." Yesterday they welcomed the daughter of the King of Lochlann.
