a question, oh child of education where do you come from?

to which Nede replied: "not hard to answer"

from a wise man's heel
from a confluence of wisdoms
from perfection of goodness
from brightness of sunrise
from poetry's hazels
from splendour's circuits
from that state where truth's worth is measured
from that measure where truth is realised
from that reality where lies are vanquished
from where all colours are seen
from where all art is reborn

and you, my elder, where do you come from?

to which Fercheirtne replied: "not hard to answer"

from the width of the pillars of the age
from the fill of the rivers of Leinster
from the length of the hall of the wife of Nechtan
from the reach of the arm of the wife of Nuadu
from the extent of the country of the sun
from the height of the mansions of the moon
from the stretch of a babe's umbilical cord

a question, oh youth of instruction what is your name?

to which Nede replied: "not hard to answer"

minuscule and muckle I am
dazzling and highly hard
entitle me Fire's flame
name me Fire of word
or Noise of Knowingness
or Fountain of Riches
or Sword of Canticles
or Ardent Verity of Genius

and you, my elder, what is your name?

to which Fercheirtne replied: "not hard to answer"

of seers most sure
I am chief revealer
of that which is uttered
and that which is asked
Inquiry of Curious
Weft of Deftness
Creel of Verse am I
and Abundance of the Sea

a question, oh young man of learning what art do you practice?

to which Nede replied: "not hard to answer"

I bring blush to face
and spirit to flesh
I practice fear's erasure
and tumescence of impudence
metre's nurture
honour's venture
and wisdoms's wooing
I shape beauty to human mouths
give wings to insight
I make naked the word
in small space I have foregathered
the cattle of cognisance
the stream of science
the totality of teaching
the captivation of kings
and the legacy of legend
