Lá dha n-deachaidh Fionn do dh'ól in Almhain is nior iomad slógh, seisior ban is seisior fear, aon ghill' is ainnir uchtgheal. Fionn féin is Diarmaid gan on, Caoilt' is Oisín is Oscur, Conán Maol go maill' ar maigh, agus mná nan sé laoch sin. Maighineas bean Fhinn bu dhéin is Ainnear uchtgheal mo bhean féin, Gormlaith áillidh is Dubh Rosg, Niamh is n-ighean Aonghuis. 'Nuair a ghabh meisge na mná tugsadar ann gus a rádh, nach robh ar in domhan tig seisior ban in g-coimhionruic. Adubhairt an innilt gan on: 'Is colach corrach in domhan; gé math sibh-se is iomadh bean nach d'rinn feis ach re aon fhear.' Gairid ar bhith dhoibh mar sin táinig aon bhean d'ar rochtain, aon bhrat uimpe go n-áilde agus í 'na h-aonshnáithe. Táinig nighean a' bhruit fhinn in bh-fiadhnaise mhic Cumhaill, beannaichios do'n rígh gan on agus suidhios 'na fharradh. Fiosraighios Fionn sgéala dhi, do'n nighin luthmhair lámhghil: 'A bhean a' bhruit go n-áilde, ciod a rad thu is t'aonshnáithe?' Is geas dom' bhrat go n-áilde, bean ann ach 'na h-aonshnáithe, nochan fhaigh díon fam' bhrot ach bean aoinfhir gan aon locht, 'Tabhair am brat dom' mhnaoi féin', adeir Conán mór gan chéill, 'go bh-feasmaois an breithir mir a tug na mná bho chianaibh'. * 'Ghacfad-sa an brat, a Chonáin, ma's áil leat léigean do t'iomrádh, 's is mór ghoilleas orm féin a n-deanais tu dom' aimhréir.' Gabhais bean Chonáin am brat in cuirios uimpe le rac, go'm b'é sin an leithid locht dar léig ris uile a geal ucht. Mar a chunnaic Conán Maol am brat ar casadh f'a taobh, tairngios an chraoiseach go nimh agus marbhuis an nighean. Gabhuis bean Diarmad' a dhíol am brat bho mhnaoi Chonáin mhaoil, nochar fearr a mheasadh dhí, casaidh am brat f'a cích, * Glacuis bean Oisin amhra am brat fa chúis labhra, an téadach nár cumadh dí níor chubhaidh a chur uimpe. Gabhuis bean Oscair 'na dheigh am brat comhfhada coimhreidh; gé leobhar sgoth a' bhrait fhinn, nochar fholaigh a h-imlinn, Gabhuis Maighineas gan fheall am brat is do chuir f'a ceann, do chas is do chuar mar sin am brat go luath f'a cluasaibh, Tabhair am brat', ar mac Reith dom' mhnaoi-si, is ní cúis cleith, go bh-feasmaois aníos gan on treis' eile da h-iomlait diubh.' Do bheirinn-se briathar ris, agus ní briathar eagmhais, nach dearnus do fheis ri fear ch dol duit-si in aois leinbh.' Nochtuis bean mhic Reith a taobh, cuirios uimp' an brat fíorchaomh, a sáth eadar chos is lámh na go ladhar a ludugán 'Aon phóg d'fhuarus in braid o mhac Uí Dhuibhne Diarmaid; do risseadh am brat um lár, mur bhéidh sí na h-aonarán,' 'Tabhraibh mo bhrat domh, a mhná, is mi nighean an Deirg ghráin, nocha dearnus do locht ach feis re Fionn faobharnocht,' 'Beir mo mhallacht is imthigh bhuainn!' 's é deir mac Cumhaill gan bhuairt, 'a d'fhágais fa mhiothlacht ar mná, na tair chugainne aon lá!'
