- A fhir do-ní an t-éad,
binn an sgéal do chor;
ní tuilltear é uait,
is iongnadh gruaim ort. - Bean dhoidhealbhtha dhuairc
minic nach bhfuair gean;
gidh iongnadh leat é,
is leat féin do bhean! - A ghiolla na rún,
is ait dúinn do chor,
ag coimhéad do mhná, —
sin an fál gan ghort! p.127 - Aon do chéad do chách
atá slán mar taoi;
ní fáth eagla dhuit
teanga i bpluic fád mhnaoi. - Ná creid neach dá mair
ort dá brath go héag;
ná fágaibh-se an tír,
a fhir do-ní an t-éad!
