There was once a boy in the county. Mayo Gulish was his name. There was the finest wraith a little way off from the gable of the house. And he was often in the habit of seating himself on the fine grass bank that was running around it. One night he stood half leaning against the gable of the house and looking up into the sky and watching the beautiful white moon over his head.
After he had been standing that way for a couple of hours, he said to himself my bitter grief that I am not gone away out of this place altogether. I'd sooner be any place in the world than here. Ah, it's well for you, white moon, says he, that's turning round, turning round as you please yourself, and no man can put you back. I wish I was the same as you. Ghalish.
Hardly was the word out of his mouth when he heard a great noise coming like the sound of many people running together and talking and laughing and making sport. And the sound went by him like a whirl of wind. And he was listening to it going into the wrath. Musha by my soul, says he, but you're merry enough, and I'll follow ye. What was in it but the fairy host?
Though he did not know at first that it was they who were in it. But he followed them into the wrath. It's there he heard the Ethoparnay and the Ethelporne, the DRAP Lay Huta and the Arugya booyah that they had there and every man of them crying out as loud as he could my horse and bridle and saddle. My horse and bridle and saddle. My horse and bridle and saddle.
By my hand, said Gulish, my boy, that's not bad. I'll imitate. Yeah. And he cried out as well as they. My horse and bridle and saddle.
My horse and bridle and saddle. My horse and bridle and saddle. And on the moment there was a fine horse with a bridle of gold and a saddle of silver standing before him, he leaped up on it. And the moment he was on its back, he saw clearly that the wrath was full of horses and of little people going riding on them, said a man of them to him. Are you coming with us to Night Gulished?
I am surely said goulish. If you are. Come along, said the little man. And out they went all together, riding like the wind. Faster than the fastest horse ever you saw a hunting and faster than the fox and the hounds at his tail.
The cold winter's wind that was before them they overtook her. And the cold winter's wind that was behind them she did not over take them and stop nor stay of that full race did they make. None until they came to the brink of the sea.
