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