The survivors scatteredacross Ireland and by the time our story begins only two of the nobles of this ancient F anwerestill alive: Ois n and Ca lte. Sixteen of the F an warriors travelled with them across the wooded andflower-covered slopes of the Fews. Patrick was reciting his office. Then his priests seeing Ca lte and his men approaching wereseized with fear and horror at the sight of these warriors of an earlier age. Then Patrick apostle tothe Irish arose and sprinkled holy water on these great men for a thousand legions of demons hadbeen above their heads. The great men then sat down. Well my friend there is something I would ask you said Patrick to Ca lte. Find us a well of purewater close by so that we might baptize the peoples. Ca lte took Patrick by the hand and togetherthey went over the ramparts of the fortress. Just nine steps from the portal they saw a lovely crystalclearspring. Then Ca lte recited these lines:A thoibur Trágha dhá bhan laind do bhilar barrhglan.ó ro tréigedh do chnuas ortn r léiced fás dot fochlocht Is uait dochuadar in Fianndar marbad Coinchend coimfial dar cuiredh ár Feinde Find.isin mhadain ós Maolghlind.A(r) marbadh chon ocus ferar n-athchuma laoch
