    páistí an bacach, do chuireadar an madra ina dhiaidh. Do chuaidh an bacach isteach annsan agus do shuidh sé síos ar chathaoir.
    Seo mar adubhairt sé:
    “Táim sa críonna, buidhe, dubh, smeartha,
    Agus an galar seo um dhrom, gan damhbhth um stanga.
    Ní hé is léin liom, ná méid mo galair
    Acht nuair do chualaidh an pléisg do leig mo bhata
    Ní bata beag cátára é, ní geárr stumpa aitin é.
    Acht madha scúrcáltha é, d’fhás do'n d'araigh,
    Do baineadh búir agus béich agus géim as tarbh
    Agus an madhra bán ar lár sa mhaca,
    San Och, Ochón, an madhra bán.
