    (continued from previous page)
    Is deacair rogha a bhaint as dhá ndhígh.
    Is maith an dath bhuidhe acht dath eile bheith tríd.
    Bean geal dubh bean is breagha amuigh.
    Lá do pósadh nó lá do thórraimh grádh mo croidhe mo dhuine féin.
    Nuair is mó an anaithe iseadh is giorra an cabhair.
    Níor cuir Dia riamh sgeaca ar bhéal a chuain.
    Ní macha go gealaig is ní caora go lachnaig.
    Cialachán fada agus easba na mbróg déanfaidh se sean duine do buachaill breágh óg.
    Níl aon bhó is aoirde géim ná an bhó is sailighthe eirbeall.
    Tosach Aoine no deire Sathairn nó aimsear Aifrinn dé Domhnaig.
    Sagart gan sainnt ní bhfaghainn (ar mo) ar mo aithne,
    Deatac árd as droch teine.
    Is mór an truagh sagart gan cléireach.
