- Mairg darab galar an grádh
gibé fáth fá n-abraim é;
is deacair sgarthain re a pháirt;
truagh an cás a bhfuilim féin. - An grádh-soin tugas gan fhios,
ós é mo leas gan a luadh,
muna fhaghad furtacht tráth,
biaidh mo bhláth go tana truagh. p.75 - An fear-soin dá dtugas grádh,
's nách féadaim a rádh ós aird,
dá gcuire sé mise i bpéin,
go madh dó féin bhus céad mairg!
