Of him it was prophesied by the Druid Morann that His fame should be in the mouths of all men; charioteers and warriors, IC ings and sages should tell his deeds; and he should win the love of many; the child should avenge the wrongs of his people, guard the fords, and decide all quarrels. Early in his childhood Setanta began to surpass all his companions, sons of chieftains and princes, in the manly and warlike games in which the noble children of the heroic age were trained Barely had he reached the age of eleven years when one day whilst engaged in a game of hurley in the courtyard of the Castle, his prowess was noticed by the King, who with all his retinue of nobles was passing upon his way to visit Cullan the Smith, at his forge near Quelgny.
