- Ní mé bhar n-aithne, a aos gráidh,
ná sginnidh le sgáth seachráin;
fuar dár seise im ionad ionn,
spiorad mheise nách maireann. p.67 - An dóigh libh, a lucht m'fhéaghtha,
nách taidhbhse i dtruaill aieurtha,
nó spiorad anma fhallsa
tarla im ionad agamsa? - A aithne is éidir damhsa
sibh gan fhiacha oramsa;
dá mbeth cás fám éag oraibh,
mo bhás créad nách gcualabhair? - Truagh sin, a dhaoine dona,
do chlaochló bhar gcéadfadha;
iseadh tharla im ainm-se ann
taidhbhse anma gan anam. - Ní mise an duine is dóich libh,
adhradh dhamh is díth creidimh;
taidhbhse buile gan aird inn;
a Mhuire! is mairg do mhillfinn. - Dá bhféachthaoi fir na cruinne,
annamh fuair dúil daonnaidhe
dá ré ar an saoghal acht sinn;
do naomhadh mé, má mhairim. - Gibé a-déaradh nách deachadh,
ní fhuil ann acht aimseachadh;
ní tráth damhsa a rádha riom,
cára almsa lem anam! - Creidim féin go bhfuaras bás, —
cumhain liom an lá theastás —
ar son a mhéada mharas
ag cor mh'éaga i-n-amharas. p.68 - Ní hanbhuain, ní hiomlat mbáis
rom-mharbh-sa, acht meisge shóláis,
ní sgís meanma (gá mó broid?),
ní ró teadhma ná treabhlaid. - Más dúil do dhúilibh nimhe
tug, le taibhreadh n-ainglidhe,
goid m'anma gan iodhna báis,
iongna damhna mo dhóláis. - A radharc ó ráinig sinn,
och, a Chríost, créad fá mairfinn?
dúil do mharbh an uile fhear,
is duine marbh nách muirbhfeadh. - Ní tonn líonmhar leanna duibh,
ní neamhghrádh neith ar talmhain,
ní hannsa duine — gá dtás? —
rom-dall-sa uile acht uathbhás. - Ar n-éirghe as an riocht reimhe
(creididh sinn go simplidhe,
do mharbh sé don uamhain inn),
do chualaidh mé go mairim. - A héagosg ní fhidir mé,
ní fhéad súil silleadh uirthe;
a hamharc gion gur fhéad sinn,
a radharc do fhéag mh'intinn. - Ós siabhradh meallta meise
gan súil éirghe ón aincis-se,
nár fhaice súil éinfhir í,
an dúil chéillidh ad-chluintí. p.69 - Ar dtaithbheóadh suil tí dhi
Dia dár n-anacal uirthi;
ní tharla cás roimhe rinn,
an bás oile 'nar n-oirchill. - Ciall mh'anma an uair do mhaireas,
tearc eólach 'na amhaireas;
sadh 'gá mbí ciall agus cruth
iar, agus í gan fholach.
