     Tradition ways that at the begining of the sixth century one of the tribes (部落) in Ireland was called Celt.
The chief (酋长) of Celt had a beautiful daughter, named Ellis, who was from childhood, fond of having honey.
When she grew up, lots of knights (骑士) and princes from neighboring countries came to propose marriage
to her. Ellis fell in love with a young master of a southem tribe who was among the proposers. They were soon

honored guests with honey wine made from the honey which had been presented by the young master. After
drinking the wine the guests sang high praise for it. They said the wine was as sweet as love. But there was too
