    Cad a théigheann suas an dréimre agus a cheann fé aige?
    Tarrainge i mbróg.
    I have no head, no tail to wag,
    But have arms, legs and back,
    I visit the palace, the tavern and cot
    It's a queer house where I'm not.
    If a king be present I'll tell you no fable
    I'm sure to be placed at the head of the table.

    Poll.
