- In rannán do gníat-som sáncán a n-íathoibh Íli,
is form-sa duslíat-somh: for coin líter cech n-díbhe. - Íssiol fri h-ard, ní bec búaidh; slemoin fri garbh caich ar n-úair;
intí diroindi samlaid, bidh réidh riëm cech n-aimhréidh. 1 - Cíall do duine ocus cruth, mogénor dian suidhiughudh;
madh an cruth álainn namá, is corrthoir gan tablanna.
Duine teimhen co céill n-glain, mogénor fris tibhe gen;
madh in ro-álainn cen céill, ní mad aicci gréin dia len. 2 - Diamad mé do-uéradh fuiriocc, ro badh méth cech manuc, 3
no betis déra geiredh dar eneach gach caratt. - A duine trúaigh, dirsan duit! it olc[a] álcho 4 do choirp:
tan it sáithech no-t-ge[i]b úall, 5 it toirsech 6 trúag [tan] it goirt. - Is gnáth do neoch iar tóchall toidecht ina athbóthar:
súaill inní as buide le bocht cen co n-apar acht athgort. - Ní coïr indus berdar in coïdh:
ní rop cōra dech in rí isin tír ataat inbi.
Is coïr indus berdar in coïdh:
sellaidh [ind] intí nat ibh, ibhidh intí dian coïr. - Co n-dig ind anim for cói co ro-s-cara frisin crí:
co ro deglat immale nocha dernat bith gan ní. - Is mo rí, is mo t[h]igerna do gní;
is ferr guth in gabair mairbh iná gairm in ghobhair bí. - Ní dot choiriucchadh, a Dé, trúagh an sainiughudh do gní:
marbai in rí[g] foloing in slúag, aingi in trúagh nát túartéit ni. - Téid mo menma 8 don mír
fil i l-láimh righ Temra tréin:
madh maith lais, do uéra im láim,
mad ferr lais, do méla féin. - Dia mo ruire, Dia mo rí, Dia mo duine, Dia mo dia,
ní no-m-sainmescca ó mac Dé dir'airmescca mac Dé dia. - Domuin gach sétach is ri, dáigh fo gní bréccach 9 bith cé;
ecmaing is dó nach terc ní, cech rí dia tecmoing serc Dé. - Eser ní re n-dol ar fecht, do thúaro ní rob imt[h]erc,
acht ma tresoide do nert, ni ba mesoitti t'imt[h]echt.

Notes statement
“Die folgenden fast alle noch der altirischen Periode entstammenden Reimereien finden sich in der von Michael O'Clery geschriebenen Handschrift B. IV. 2 der Königlichen Akademie zu Dublin, die ich Archiv III, S. 302 kurz beschrieben habe.” (Meyer 268). Donnchadh Ó Corrá has suggested that this miscellany of social comments and wisdom texts dates from the Old and Middle Irish period.

Editorial corrections and expansions are marked. Hyphenation and word separation have been brought in line with CELT practice.

Hyphenation: Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break, this break is marked after completion of the hyphenated word.
