    There was a king from foreign countries and he came over to Castleknock and his warriors came after him because they heard there was going to be a battle. The king went into the castle and he said "Whoever answers the door, to say, that he was asleep". And when the warriors heard that they said "Let him sleep until Judgement "
    He is asleep there yet
