    Ó Heóghusa .i. Eochaidh cct.

  1. Ní mé bhur n-aithne, a aos gráidh,
    ná sginnidh re sgáth seachráin:
    fúar dár seisi im ionad ionn,
    spiorad mheisi nach maireann.
  2. An dóigh libh, a lucht m'fhéghtha,
    nach taidhbhsi a ttruaill aiértha,
    nó spiorad anma fhallsa,
    tarla im ionad agamsa?
  3. A aithne as éidir dhamhsa,
    10 sibh gan fhíacha oramsa:
    11 dá mbeth cás fám ég oruibh
    12 mo bhás créd nach cúalabhair?
  4.  p.13413 Trúagh sin, a dhaoine dona,
    14 do cláochlódh bhur ccédfadha;
    15 as eadh tharla am ainmsi ann,
    16 taidhbhsi anma gan anam.
  5. 17 Ní misi an duine as dóich libh,
    18 adhradh dhamh as díth creidimh:
    19 taidhbhsi buile gan aird inn,
    20 a Mhuire! as mairg do mhillfinn.
  6. 21 Dá bhféchtha fir na cruinne,
    22 annamh fúair dúil daonaidhe
    23 dá ré ar an saoghal acht sinn—
    24 do náomhadh mé má mhairim.
  7. 25 Gidh bé adéradh nach deachadh,
    26 ní fhuil ann acht aimseachadh:
    27 ní tráth damhsa a rádha rom,
    28 cára almsa rem anam.
  8. 29 Creidim féin go bfuaras bás,
    30 cumhain liom an lá theasdás,
    31 ar son an mhéda mharas,
    32 ag cor mh'éga a n-amharas.
  9. 33 Ní hanbhúain, ní hiomlat mbáis,
    34 rom mharbhsa, acht meisci shóláis:
    35 ní sgís meanma —ga mó broid?—
    36 ní ró teadhma ná treabhloid.
  10. 37 Más dúil do dhúilibh nimhe
    38 tug lé taibhreadh n-ainglidhi
    39 goid mh'anma gan iodhna báis,
    40 iongna damhna mo dhóláis.
  11.  p.135
  12. 41 A radharc ó ránuig sinn,
    42 uch, a Chríost, créd fá mairfinn?—
    43 dúil do mharbh an uile fhear,
    44 as duine marbh nach muirbhfeadh.
  13. 45 Ní tonn líonmhar leanna duibh,
    46 ní neamhgrádh neith ar talmhain,
    47 ní hannsa duine —ga dás?
    48 rom dhallsa uile acht úathbhás.
  14. 49 Ar n-éirghe as an riocht reimhe—
    50 creididh sinn go simplidhe:
    51 do mharbh sé don úamhain inn—
    52 do-chualaidh mé go mairim.
  15. 53 A hégosg ní fhidir mé,
    54 ní fhéd súil silleadh uirrthi:
    55 a hamharc gin gur fhéd sinn,
    56 a radharc do fhég mh'intinn.
  16. 57 Ó's síabhradh meallta meisi,
    58 gan súil éirghe ón ainccisi,
    59 nár fhaice súil éinfhir í,
    60 an dúil chéillidh ad-chluintí.
  17. 61 Ar ttaithbheóadh suil tí dhi,
    62 Día dár n-anacal uirrthi:
    63 ní tharla cás roimhe rinn,
    64 an bás oile 'nar n-oirchill.
  18. 65 Cíall mh'anma an uair do mharas,
    66 tearc eólach 'na amharas:
    67 sadh gá mbí ciall agus cruth
    68 iar agus í gan fholach.
