summary: A translated rhetorical passage addresses a hero lying in the sleep of
a sick-bed. It says unearthly or fairy women from the fiery plain of Trogach have
appeared, subdued him, imprisoned him, and driven him away. The speaker urges
him to rouse himself from distress and fairy-sent sickness, saying his vigor among
chariot-riding heroes is gone and calling him to rise up in response to what Labraid's
power has indicated.
