- A bhean na lurgan luime
(gé taoi ainteann orainne!),
gé tám tinn ré mbás, a bhean,
ní budh cás linn do léigean. p.130 - Iomdha cúis fá madh cóir damh,
a luirgneach lom, do léagadh;
tú trá is cumhga croidhe,
is burba 's is baoghlaighe. - Tú is caoile 's is cuimhge,
tú is teó 'nar dtiomchailne,
tú is fuaire uair eile,
tú is cruaidhe 's is caintighe. - Gé tá bulla leat id láimh
fá bheith liom pósta ón bpríomhfháidh
(móide a ghrás cia do crochadh),
ní cás le Dia ar ndealachadh. - Do bhulla, a bhréagóg fhallsa,
ní fiadhain é oramsa;
bulla soin ar nách cóir cion,
ní thoir sa Róimh do rinneadh. - A mheirdreach labharthach lonn,
nách cruaidhe hoiread d'iarann,
créad rom-beir re mnaoi dod mheas?
gan geir a-taoi, gan toirrcheas. - Siobhlach ort a-nunn 's a-nall,
seirbhe do ghuth ná an gafann;
cruth nách casmhail do dhuine
do chruth arsaidh iarnaidhe. - Do bholg tana ar-n-a tholladh
mairg do-chí ar céadlongadh,
tuar gorta go bráth, a bhean;
do lochta ar chách ní cheileabh. p.131 - Gé nách beinn libhse ag lighe,
fóirfidh Mac na Maighdine;
go mbeire mé a-nunn ar neamh
an Té do chum an chéidbhean.
