- Ort do sheiseacht, a shaoghail,
a sgian tana thollfhaobhair;
a ghille 's a lúb 'n-a láimh,
ag súd inn-ne dot fhágbháil. - Mithid damh céim seachad sair,
a sheanóir dhoill, a dhomhain;
do budh turchar dhamh, a dhuill,
urchar do chur lem choluinn. - Do budh codladh ar chlúimh thé
gan iompódh riot a-ríse;
uch, a thruagh, más eadh as áil
seal uabh agus gan t'fhágbháil. - Seal 'san slighe dhíomhaoin damh,
seal 'san saoghal dom shalchadh,
seal san lathaigh, loighe an doill,
athaidh oile san abhoinn. - Ruaig agam d'iarraidh nimhe,
ruaig i measg mo mhuinntire—
tuig trá nach deighcridhe dhamh
an dá eitrighe d'adhradh. - Siridh féin aireamh eile,
a shaoghail, d'ar t'eitrighe;
beir, a shaoghail, t'aghaidh uaim,
a shalaigh dhaolaigh dhiombuain. p.152 - A sheanóir thuisleadhaigh thruim,
mallacht ort gach fhir chumuinn;
go bhfagha shár it sheise,
a chlár tana taipleise. - Gé taoi ar mo thí, a thruagháin
thruaigh,
duit do chumas do chéadduain;
mór an ceannach deaghóir dhamh
seanóir meangach do mholadh. - Is tú an giolla fionn fallsa,
riot do-chuaidh an cholann-sa;
ní tú, a dhalláin a dhomhain,
an chnú fhalláin fhoghamhair. - Is tú an tsadh mheabhlach mheangach,
is tú an bheithir bhéimeannach,
tú an aithir sheang, a sheise,
is ceann aithigh uirrei-se. - Do chuiris díot a-dearair
cúig dhíne do dhíneadhaibh;
ní fhuil tú acht id chuaille chuir
ar bhrú na huaighe, a ánruidh. - A ánruidh thruaigh, tomhais dúin
gá fuil do-chuaidh fad chéadúir;
sloinn go fíor, a bhréagaigh bhrais,
gá céadfhuil ríogh do fhromhais. - Fuil Aibéil mheic Ádhaimh fhinn
dí do chorcrais do chéidrinn;
a bhrais bhréagaigh, is sí sain
céadfhuil do bhí ar do bhéalaibh. - Fuil Críosd do-chuaidh fad bhruinne,
móide t'imshníomh oruinn-ne;
ceann fat iris níor dhluigh dhamh
ó do ibhis fhuil t'athar. - Do bhrathais Dái-bhí na ndámh
's do fheallais ar Ab-rahám;
tugadh ceann Eoin dá éis sain
'n-a fheoil ar mhéis dod mhiasaibh. - Do chrochais is a cheann síos
Peadar apsdal na n-óirchíos;
ar ndíoth Peadair agus Póil
eagail do shioth, a sheanóir. p.153 - Ní dhearna cumann riot riamh
ó do fheallais ar Aibial
neach nar chuiris féine i bhfód
acht madh Éile agus Eanóg. - Tárras ort-sa eacht oile
do chealga 's do chorroighe;
ar do mhuin—níor bhúireadh binn—
do chuir an Dúileamh dílinn. - Bliadhain dí—agus níor dhoib-
heart—
ar do mhuin ag marcoigheacht;
ní fhuair díon, ní thárraidh trácht,
do shíol Ádhaimh acht aonbhárc. - Tiocfa bráth ainmhín oile
dod bháthadh-sa, a bhréagoire;
ní bhia beatha eile ann
acht ceatha is teine is torann. - Báidhfidhear tú do thonnaibh
mar bháidhthear ceap críonchonnaidh;
do leagadh a-dir gach dream
ar sin ní fheadar th'inneall. - Ón ló loisgfidhear do lár
agus ghéisfeas do ghormchlár
agus bhearrfas muir do mhong
do sheanchas ní fhuil agam. - Ag súd inne ag imtheacht uaid
i reilig na gcrann gcaolfhuaid;
beag do threiseacht tocht tar muir
ort do sheiseacht, a shaoghail.
