    Tomhais:
    Cailleach sa coillidh is árd a gloim,
    Puisín iarainn a’s fiachal cruinn.
    (Sin. tuagh.)
    Tomhais:
    Bhí mise lá ag dul siar an róid
    A’s mé go breóidhte tinn.
    Ag iarraidh tuairisc’ Nóra,
    Nó go dtomhaisfeadh sí mo cheann.
    Fuair mé tuairisc Nóra,
    A’s thomhais sí mo cheann.
    Mo bhrón ort, a Nóra
    Nó is tú a chraith mo cheann.
    (Sin buideál poitín).
