  1. Long ago there used come a prince every year to burn Tara. Once Finn prepared to meet him, he had his father('s) spear that never misses its mark. When the prince was coming from the far hills of the north he was playing his magic harp with which he used to put the people of Tara to sleep.
    Finn flung his spear at him and killed him.
