- Cia thú, a mhacaoimh mná?
créad is fáth dod chuairt?
uch! is géar rom-chráidh,
más triall do b'áil duit uaim. - Sídh Lir, searc gach súl,
an í súd do threabh?
nó Sídh Buidhbh na mbuadh?
uch, mo nuar! a bhean. - Nó Sídh Cnodhbha chorr,
bruidhean na gcolg ndéad?
nó Sídh chruithgheal Cairn?
nó Sídh Sainbh na séad? - Ná ceil orm do rún,
féach mar tú 'na ghioll;
más tú innis damh
baincheann na mBan bhFionn. p.70 - Ní hiongnadh, a dhreach mhín,
gibé chí do chruth,
baintsíodh riot do rádh,
a ghnúis mar bhláth subh. - Ní dearg deirge an ghuail
i ngar dod ghruaidh ghil;
do dhorchaigh gné an aoil
bheith re taoibh do chnis. - A bhé shaoibhgheal shuairc,
ná himthigh uainn fós;
grás ar dhuine leamh
do rinne bean rót. - Mo bhruid-se an truagh lat?
fogas damh an bás;
mairg nách admhann dún
cia thú, a mhacaoimh mná!
