An t-Eagrán Seo den Dán	The Current Version of the Poem
Cúirt an Mheán Oíche: Bhíodh sé mar nós ag eagarthóirí Cúirt an Mheán Oíche a leagadh amach mar dán le ceithre pháirt ann. Aithnítear, áfach, gur dán cúig-pháirteach i ndáiríre atá ann—an oscailt, an dúnadh agus díospóireacht thrí-pháirteach eatarthu. Is ar an dóigh sin atá sé leagtha amach agamsa anseo: I. An Oscailt (25K) An Plé: II. An Ainnir (38K) III. An Seanfhear (50K) IV. An Ainnir Arís (37K) V. An Breithiúnas is an Réiteach (31K)	The Midnight Court: The traditional practice is to divide The Midnight Court into four parts. However, most commentators recognize that the poem naturally divides into five—an opening, a closing and a three-part debate in between. This is the layout I have adopted here: I. The Opening (25K) The Debate: II. The Young Woman (38K) III. The Old Man (50K) IV. The Young Woman Again (37K) V. The Judgment and Resolution (31K)
Leagan ré-chaighdeánach de Chúirt an Mheadhon Oidhche. Is dócha gur ar an dóigh seo a scríobh Merriman an dán i dtús báire.	Pre-standardized version of The Midnight Court. This is basically the language that Merriman would have used.
