Lugh heals CuChullainn

(An excerpt from the Tain Bo Cuilgne)

When Lugh came to help CuChullain, the latter said: 'Yea, heavy are the bloody wounds upon me; let thy healing be quick.' 'Sleep then awhile, O CuChullainn … thy heavy fit of sleep by Ferta in Lerga ('the Grave-mound on the Slopes') until the end of three days and nights' …[Lugh] examined each wound so that it became clean. Then he sang him the 'men's low strain' until Cuchullainn fell asleep withal … and recovered during his sleep without ever preceiving it.
