    (continued from previous page)
    Bhí fonn damhsa no suidhe ortha (they had a desire to dance or sit)
    Luach do phigne ar bhun do theanga (pay for all you get)
    Bí sé eadar dail agus dorchadas
    Bhí me eadar dha comhairle
    Is lom an cluan a crocnochadh mo chuid
    Níl crothnuighadh ar a tobar go dtraighidh sé
    Tá na cusple deireadh dul chun tosaigh
    Is annamh ‘s dealg i gelábar focal as béal leath-duine
    Cen uair a labaireas an preachan dubh?
    Nuair a imtheochas an ceo de na cnuic
    Nuair a thréigfeas an t-iolar na gleanntain
    Nuair a fhagas an t-sainnt na saghairt
    Labhairfidh an feac dubh annsin.
    Nuair a troideas na fathaigh is rí an eabhach (dwarf)
    Bhearfaidh do shron fhein comairle duit
    Ní ionnam dul na bhaile mhóir agus í afhágailt
    Cainnt leis an capall ‘s a capall in a codladh
    Is mian mall a breitheamh dia toighe na h-atha a cur ar an muillean
    Is annamh is dealg i gclabar focal as béal leath-dhuine
