    (continued from previous page)
    An té chífeadh ag teacht é dhéanfadh sé gáire
    ba chosamhad le staill é nár scaoileadh ráithe
    Súghfadh sé pluide ‘s bhí an tsean chuid cubhar leir
    Bhí sé gan bearradh ‘s é i bhfuirm gránóige. San bó-ló
    Tá mo súil-se le h-Íosa agus righ geal na h-Aoine
    ‘S le Deaglán naomhtha tá taobh linn san dísirt
    Go gcasfadh im shláinte chómh láidir is bhí mé.
    ‘S go mbainfeadh-sa sásamh de cnámha an droch
    h-iarradh (síolrath?) San bó-ló.

    An Gabhar: (bean uí Bhruadar a thug dom é. Ní fios cé dhem. A máthair a thug di é)
    ‘Sé dubhairt an gabhar mo chreach ‘s mo lom (ghoirm) ndubhairisi?
    Nár dhfaineas mar a rabhas le ráithe
    Mar a gheobhainn féar agus geomhair
    Agus biolar cois abhann
    ‘S mo stábla donn bheith lá’ liom.
    Lúigh an gabhar ‘s screath go lom
    ‘S d’iarr sé cabhair ar Máire
    Scaoil mo cheann tá ceangailte den chrann
    ‘S ní iarradh aon tor cabásite ort.
