   Dá donacht gabhaltas, bíonn oidhre dhó

   Dearbhráthair do Thadhg Domhnall

   Gheibheann na ba bás fhaid is bíonn an féar ag fás

   Gheibheann cíaróg cíaróg eile amach

   I ndiaidh a chéile déantar na caisleáin

   I ar mhaithe leis féin a ghníos an cat rónán

   Is cuma le fear na mbróg, cá luigheann sé a chos

   Is fearr féachaint romhat ná dhá fhéacaint id' dhiaidh

   Is fearr an tsláinte ná an saidhbreas

   Is minic nach é an capall is fearr tógann an rása

   Is fearr an troid ná an t-uaigneas

   Is maith an nidh an fhoighidh, is olc an nidh an fhaillighe

   Is geall le sgíth, malairt oibhre

   Is minic a bhain bean slat a bhuail siar faoi an mbéal í

   Is trom cearc i bhfad

   Is dána gach mada i ndoras a thighe féin
