  2. Séamus Ua Ceanainn. (40 bl. d’aois)
    Baile na Dumhcha, Gleanncholuimcille.
    Ní h-ionann a théid an t-éadach gearr do’n uile dhuine.
    Is iomdha cochall aerach ar ceann gan stuaim.
    ‘Sé aiteas bean leann a bheith ag líonadh na gcártaí,
    ‘Sé aiteas na gcearrbhaidhe a bheith ag imirt na gcárdaí,
    ‘Sé aiteas na ngarraidhe a bheith a troideán sa chrianán
    A’s aiteas na seandaoine a bheith i n-aice na gríosadh.

  3. Tomhais:
    Tá sé sa chlúid agus dhá chéad súil air.
    (Ruideal).
    Ceathar ar crith, ceathar ar rith,
    Beirt ag deánamh an eólais
    A’s an róibín ar deireadh.
    (Bó).
