It is said that she was disfigured and made insane by enchantment. She remained a year at Lough Ce after which she returned to Keash. All refused to admit her except Ossian.
On the following day she again became a beautiful woman. She took Ossian with her to the land of perpetual Youth. (Tir-na-NOg)

" Caiptín Rosmór ná thiar do thóin agus ribín men do láinte" ?
Be hungry or dry on the road passing by
Where you will see a good haggard of corn
Step into that house and you'll get a carouse
You'll be well entertained until morning
You'll have a good fire, besides a good bed
Good meat and drink in the parlour
For there's no man could ever afford
To feed man and horse like the farmer."
