  2. Ar chuala sibh fa'n fheile, a rabh dúil go mbéádh ceadtaí uaisle,
    Da gcruinniú ar an fheasta
    Is gur ag Mairtín ar a Chuirín bí fheile aca uilig.
    Bhí dá réág ar meisge agus cúig chéád ann
    Bhí an balró a bo tinne a dtiocfadh ar chruinnigh,
    Plé racha do tinneadh le pleisiúr.
    Bhí an clársa i seinm le olghardas agus le binne,
    Leis an ailleagon leinbh a bhreagadh.

    Ar chuala sibh na slóighte a rabh a dtriall ins na bordaibh air,
    Is gur ag Cábhann Domhnaigh a bhí an t-ár-fá.
    Bhí an dá chúig mhíle óig-fear a ba deise a bhí coruighthe,
    Lucht búcla mo bhrón-sa gur fághadh.
