Urard seems to be saying he can wound with satire just as the warriors wounded
with spears. See the poem composed c.1599 by Tadhg mac Dáire Mac
Bruaideadha entitled “Tairgidh mo sheachna a Shíol mBriain” (McLaughlin, Roisin,
“A threat of satire by Tadhg (mac Dáire) Mac Bruaideadha”, Ériu 55 (2005): 37–
57) readable online at JSTOR. This poem seems to be influenced by Airec
Menman.
