Versos English W. B. Yeats Cuchulain

English poem

Cuchulain

by

Listen in the reader

[Seizing dagger]

Do you dare, do you dare, do you dare? Bear children and sweep the house.

[Forcing his way through the Servants who gather round]

Wail, but keep from the road.

[He kneels before RED MAN. There is a pause]

Quick to your work, old Radish, you will fade when the cocks have crowed.

[A black cat-headed Man holds out the Helmet. The RED MAN takes it]
