    (continued from previous page)
    Mná d'á gcrúdhadh agus na gamhna 'cu d'á dtógaint,
    Bhuachaill mear eadtrom a chasfhadh iad tar teórainn
    Ná loingeas ar farraige, is ná feadar-sa cá ngeobhaidh sí.
    —Aillilliú.
    Níor b'feárr liomsa buarach a bheadh orm ná an bhualtach;
    Níor b'feárr liomsa crios a bheadh orm ná an bhuarach;
    Ceólta sídhe na cruinne bheith d'á síor chur im' chluasa,
    Ba bhinne liom géimneach mo bhuaibh ag teacht chun buaille.
    —Aillilliú
    Inghean d'aodhaire 'seadh mé féineach gan amhras
    A bhíodh 'na chómhnuí thiar cois Leamhna,
    I mbotháinín íseal, doras ar a cheann air,
    Fuinneóg ar a thaobh is me ag aodhaireacht mo ghamhna.
    —Aillilliú.
    Máirnéalach loinge a thóg leis mar chéile inghean d'aodhaire bó – agus sin í an chainnt a bhí eatortha.
