12a. The Death of Forgemen
The Death of Forgemen
And the bull's cowherd would not allow them to carry off the Brown Bull of Cualnge, so that they urged on the bull, beating shafts on shields, till they drove him into a narrow gap, and the herd trampled the cowherd's body thirty feet into the ground, so that they made fragments and shreds of his body. Forgemen was his name. This then is the Death of Forgemen on the Cattle-prey of Cualnge.

Ocus ni arlaic a búachaill dóibide Dond Cualnge, co n-das-rimmartatar co cruind for scíath fair, co n-dam-bertatar i m-bernaid chumaing, co n-da-ralastar na halma i talmain a chorp trichait traiged, co n-dernsat minscomartaig & minbruan dia churp. Forgemen a chomainm. Conid bás Forgaimin sin for Táin bo Cualnge.
