    'Sé d'fhosgail sí a beilín agus labhair i mBearla;
    "And if you please, Sir you'll let me go.

    Is maith an áire ar na ba, a bheith gho sántú,
    Agus, bheith gha seoladh go moch ins a' lá;
    No gurbh im agus bainne iad ag teacht an tsamhraidh;
    Agus ar gheall ar bholacht a phóstar lan.

    Da bhfeicthea an dreollan agus é ag baint mhonadh
    Airíst a croigeadh ar uair an mheadhon lae;
    An naoscan 'sa cú bhreac treabhadh le cheille,
    Is na capaill ag ealodh is a gabhail fa shliabh.

    Tá mise ag teacht anois, teacht na Bealtaine,
    Is mé nach rabh orm ariamh coruigh no (?) gruam.
    Is na mara bhfuil mo ghrádh-sa
    Is nach fada 'n la go goirfidh an chuach.
