Subject: RE: LYR.REQ.: LornaDoone & Dierdre o' th' Sorrows
The tale of Dierdre (Derdriu) and the Sons of Usnoth (Uisliu) starts on p. 8 of Thomsas Kinsella's translation of 'The Tain' (Oxford University Press). Dierdre's sorrowful chant, rather than song, is on pp. 18-19. This is a literal, not metical, translation from Gaelic.
