- Uch a lám,
ar scribis do memrum bán!
béra in memrum fá buaidh,
is bethair-si ad benn lom cuail cnám. - Ni dlig feronn gan treoir, 1
ni dlig degairm fer cin gliaidh,
ni dlig cercaill cend co m-beoil,
ni dlig feoil fer gan sciain. - Aiged Íasu 'na croich síar,
sair cen chísu cúl in úain ,
a chlé bu dess rissin n-gréin,
sé 'na phéin, a dess fo thúaid. - Mór in bét!
immad sliged ocus sét
tar lebaid na sruthi soer,
tar nar chóir acht óen do chét.
