- Do-bhéaram seal re saobhnós,
ní bhiam re baothghlór banda;
na mná dhíobh ba díol tola
ní hiad a-nosa is annsa. - Acht gidh iad na mná sgiamhdha
is mó iarrthar le fearaibh,
isí an bhean díobh badh Gráinne
badh sáimhe liom im leabaidh. - Agam dá mbeadh an bhantracht,
mná Alban is mná Sagsan,
do b'fhearr liom beagán páirte
ón mnaoi is Gráinne dá bhfaca. - Bheith gan choirce gan chruithneacht
beag do thuigeas gur bh'easbhaidh;
ní ionnta do bhí ar gcáisne,
acht bheith gan Ghráinne is eagail. - Níor cheist oram dá ndéineadh
goid nó éigean ó dtiocfainn;
mo mhallacht ar m'fhear páirte
nár fhágaibh Gráinne im iothlainn. p.8 - Bean is Gráinne don bhantracht,
bheith 'na hannsa ni shéanfam;
tug sí mo chiall ar claochlódh, —
seal re saobhnós do-bhéaram!
