In the Irish version of 'Cath Gabhra' Finn weeps when he sees the mortally wounded Oscar. In the Scottish version (given in John Gregorson Campbell's 'The Fians')Oscar opens his eyes and rebukes his grandfather for unseemly crying.
" Though it were you that fell In sunny, scanty Gavra's fight, One sigh east or west Would not be heard in pity for you in Oscar. (21)
" Ged bu tusa thuiteadh ann An cath Gabhra grianach gann, Aon osna 'n ear no 'n iar Cha chluinnteadh', gad iargain aig Oscar. {21)
" No man ever knew, A heart of flesh was in my breast. But a heart of the twisted antler (22) That has been covered with steel.
" Cha d' f hiosraich duine riamh Cridhe febla bhi am chliabh, Ach cridhe de chuinn a chuir (22) 'N deis a chomdachadh le staihnn.
" But the howling of dogs beside me, And the wail of old heroes, And the weeping of the crowd of women by turns, 'Tis that that pains my heart."
" Ach donnalaich nan con ri m' thaobh. Agus buireadh nan seann laoch, 'S gul a' bhannail mu seach, Sid an rud a chraidh mo chridhe."
