- Rí con Éireann Ábhartach

Caithréim do b'ainm dá hathair. - Bíoth nach béaradh buadh ndealbha

an cú ceannard cathardha,
cú Osgair na gcuach gcam
ba luath gcosgair i gcomhlann. - Nó cú mheic Lughach na learg
dar bh'ainm chubhaidh an Ceinndearg,
an cú glan seamfhaobhrach seang
ór ghearrshaoghlach damh díleann. - Gá dtám, do choimmeas na gcon
do bhádar ag airdrígh Almhan,
Bran féin as daghshamhail di;
baramhail as léir linne. - An Bran oirrdheirc-sin Finn féin
d'Abhartach ní thuill toibhéim

cú mar Osgar i n-iorghoil. - Ní fhuil fa néallaibh a-nocht

dá n-iarrthar gach aonfhoraois
más fíor is folamh 'n-a gar,
's ní foghar míol 'n-a mothar. - Ó bhéal Allta go hIasgaigh
tearc ann do na hilphiastaibh,
nó im bhruach roigheal líonmhar Luirg
nó im oirear míonghlan Miodhbhuilg. p.389 - Seachnóin Bréifne an bhruaich sgathaigh

ní hannamh ar Ábhartach
—ní fhuighinn a ríomh go réidh—
gníomh nach cuirim 'n-a caithréim. - Ón mbuime do oil i-se
ní hiongnadh ádh uirrei-se
ler sighneadh coiléan d'Ú Chuinn
