“Do dhuine féin an duine is fearr”
Séan Amhráin.I bhfad o shóin ba ghnathach leis na sean daoine amhráin a dhéanamh agus ba ghnathach leo dánta a dheanamh fosta agus bhí siad sin i bhfad níos deise na na rudaí ata acha anois. Bhí duine na chomhnuidhe ar an Árd Bhán agus rinne sé dán deas fa na bhean féin.
Do dhuine féin an duine is fearr. Nuair a bhí mise óg bhí mé aigeantach, bhí mé tughtha do chéol ís do damhsa, Ní bhéodh aon damhsa in áit ar bith, Nach mbéinn aige mar chloch de bhalla.
