    I dtosach na h-aicide is fusa í leighis
    An rud ná feicheann an t-suil ní crádann sé a croidhe
    Breithnig an abha sar a dtéigheadh na coille
    Is maith an capall ná fagann baircaisle
    Nodlag grianmhar a dheineann reilg biadhmhar
    Is minic a dhein cú moll sona
    Bhíónn leachacha sleamhna i dtighibh daoine uaisle
    Ná bí silteach i dtig an ól
    Is fearr feischint rómhath ná dhá feiscint id dhiad
    Is mairg don té a labhrann go teann
    Dá bréagacht í an lá ní h-ualach do duine a bhrat
    Ní thaithn cú riomh cnó
    Is treise spuir na bachaige
    Ní bhíonn treibh gan (?)
    Cloc rith ní bailuigeann sí cúnlach
    An té nách bfuil ládair ní foláir do beith glich
    Ní mar a síltear a bitear
    Ní folamh an gleann ná mbíonn an t-uisge
    leath tinne agus leath bíd lá Fhéíle Bríghde
    Is olc an gaoth na séidheann i seólta duine éígin
    An té nach truagh leis do chas ná dein do gearrán leis
    Is fúar an tighe na gnátuighidh na fir
    Is fearr an t-imreas na an t-úigneas
    Ar sgáth a céíle a mhaireann na daoine
