I'm not sure that there are two women, I thought the woman that the wandering labourer, the spalpeen/spailpín, says is too old for him doesnt go and fetch her cloak and her fashionable shoes to go along with the spailpín anyway. Either interpretation is possible. The later verses strike a rebellious note against the big wigs (na bodaigh atá lán de phónairi; in this case full of beans means well-fed I think)

Isn't this interesting?: "[Seán]ORiada wrote a full-length play Spailpin a Run about the life of the poet Eoghan Rua O Suilleabhain whose poems survived as songs in Munster long after his death. The play was staged in the Damer in Dublin and O Riada turned up every night to play the piano." http://irishtunecomposers.weebly.com/seaacuten-oacute-riacuteada.html
I wish I knew the content of that play...
