Summary

A hunter catches three hares at Emain Macha, but as he prepares to cook them a voice recites a poem, and tells him he has killed the three sons of Conchobar mac Nessa, Cormac Cond Longas, Cairpre and Cúscraid Mend Macha, who had taken the form of hares. The hunter runs away, leaving his game behind.
