Item description
Meanwhile that morning, Antipater (Ir. Anntipater) the druid tells the king that the youths have succeeded in their mission and will arrive that night. In a single quatrain (beg. Iseat tanic ar fecht), the druid repeats his prophecy that Éogan's descendants will rule Ireland (Mag Fáil). When the youths arrive on the shore, they are led to the king's court in Breogán's Tower (Tor mBreogáin) and receive a hearty welcome there, with a banquet full of fresh food and old drink.
