- Ní mhair séan do ghnáth, —
do dhearbh a lán é,
amhlaidh sin nách cóir
teann as glóir dá méid. - Gnáth gach deasgadh searbh;
tarla a dhearbh liom,
gach flaitheas dá mhéid
go dtéid bun-as-cionn. - Mór mo ghuais i-niu,
fada ón riocht i-né;
a shaoghail na lúb
is tusa tú féin. - Dá bhféachthaoi fó seach
cách ó bheag go mór,
ní fhuil bocht fón ghréin
do dhlighfeadh déirc róm. - Dá ndeachainn dá mheas,
beag nách leamh mar tám;
go deó mairfe sinn
im dhuine thinn shlán. - An bhean so rom-chráidh,
ní mé a-mháin do mheall;
cóir a iomchar lé,
do bhí sé 'nar gceann. p.106 - A bhfuil teas is tuaidh,
ní críonna uaim súd,
mar táid tríthi ag searg,
nách tearna dealg dhún. - Ní fhuil feidhm bheith ria,
olc an chiall a cor;
ionann mharbhas sí
an rí is an bocht. - Im riocht féin a-rís
ní bhiam go dtí an bráth;
beag nách leamh mo sgéal;
ní mhair séan do ghnáth!
