- The Gobán Saor was looking for a wife one time and he said she was not to come in the day or in the night, and she was not to walk on the road or in the fields she was not to bring any body with her and she was not to come alone. She came in the dusk, she walked on the hedges, while she was coming she brought a dog with her. The Gobán Saor said that she was the wife he wanted, & he married her & they lived happily & ever after.
