    alms given to day" "I d'ont want your alms." "I want the king's daughter." The king was called out. And Seán said "did'nt you say you would give your daughter to the person who would win her."? "I did" said the king. So he let him in. When he went in he started playing the harp and all in the room started dancing and the king's daughter was laughing merrily So Seán won her and they lived happily together.
