- Truagh do bheatha, a bhean a-réir!
an ngoilleann ort féin mar taoi?
ní chuala féin thuaidh ná theas
leath th'ainnise ar fhear ná ar mhnaoi. - Ar chréatúir dár chruthaigh Dia
ní chuala riamh leath bhar n-olc;
don duine is boichte fán ghréin
ní thiubhrainn féin mo dhéirc thort. - Gach martra dá bhfuilngeann tú,
gach crádh croidhe, a chúl na sreath,
dá bhfuilngeadh sibh ar son Dé,
do rachthá gan péin ar neamh. - Más dod dheóin ataoi mar sein
ní mór gur bh'fhearr dheit, dár ndóigh,
dá mhéad (coir) dá ndearna tú,
dol ar do dhá ghlún don Róimh. - Is truagh leam nách léigthear doit
gidh beag féachain soir ná siar;
dom dhóigh, ní léigfidhe leat
a rádh go madh geal an fiach. p.100 - Gé 'taoi cosmhail mar chuid súl,
badh gearr mhairfeas tú mar taoi;
ionann do bheatha 'gus bás;
dar leat, tugais grádh do mhnaoi. - Cuid dod dhonas (dia do bhéad)
nách deacha tú d'éag 'na thráth;
uch, mo thruaighe, ataoi fa-ríor!
id chairdeas Chríost ag an mbás. - Ní mór an truaighe atá dheit, —
móide a dhonas dod dhreich naoi;
do chreidfeadh cách cumhacht Dé,
muna bhfaicdís féin mar taoi. - Iomdha giolla séaghain suairc
do bhí san riocht-soin uaid féin;
ní bhí an saoghal acht fá seach;
truagh do bheatha, a bhean a-réir.
