- There came to me assistance,
- Danu fair and Brigit;
- As Danu bore the Dagda,
- As Dagda's wife bore Brigit,
- As Brigit bore Ruadan
- Without flaw in him,
- Aid thou me in mine unbearing,
- Aid me, O Brigit!
- As Lugh was conceived of Ethlinn
- Full perfect on every hand,
- Assist thou me, foster-mother,
- The conception to bring from the bone;
- And as thou didst aid the Mother of the Gods,
- Without gold, without corn, without kine,
- Aid thou me, great is my sickness,
- Aid me, O Brigit!
