    Éist le fuaim na h-abhna agus gheobhaidh tú breac.
    Ní fuide gob an gé na gob an gandail.
    Is feárr greim amhaín do choinín no dhá greim do chat
    Cuir culaith shíoda ar ghabhar agus is gabhar i gcomhnuidhe é.
    Gheobhaidh an capall bás fhad agus tá an feár ag fás
    Beirt ag troid agus iad ar aon sgéal
    Ní hé lá na gaoithe lá na sgolb
    An té na gcuireann san Earrach ní bhainfidh sé san Fhóghmhar
    Is trom an t-ualach an leisge
    Do réir a chéile déantar na caisleáin
    Nuair a bhíos an cat amuigh bíonn na lucha ag rinnce.
    Briseann an dúthchas trí siúlibh an chait
    An iomad lámh a dhéanas an obair éadtrom
    Bíonn adharca fada ar na buaibh thar lear
    Is glas iad na cnuic i bhfad uainn.
    Tosach sláinte codladh direadh sláinte osna
    An rud is annamh is iongantach
    Bíodh rud agat fhéin nó bí gan é.
    Bíonn blas ar an mbeagán.
    Is minic a bhain duine slat a bhuail é féin
    is maith liom tae acht ní maith domh é
    Nuair a bhéas an fíon istoigh bíonn an ciall amuigh
