  2. Tá guth bródamhail Thír Chonaill go háluinn indiú,
    a' musgladh 'na mac alla go hárd as go tuigh;
    is cléirigh na gcoiste go Gartan a' triall
    Ó bháiltibh an chonndae go fras as go fial.
    Tá'n pobail go cráibhtheach ar uignuigh 'sa' ghleann,
    s gan fasgadh an sgathlainn féin cumhdach a gceann
    Tá na sagairt mhaith cóirighthe's an tAifreann dá rádh
    Ur(?) altóir an sciamhal le ró bheaghan sgaith.
    Tá clann Chonnaill go céimheamhail 's go tréanmhar annseo
    le prionnsa ar dteampaill 's Tighearna Easboc ratbhoth:(?)

    Tabhairt buaidheachas 'gus altughadh do Dia mhór gan mhoill

    ar son na ngrása a phroinn sé ar naomh Colm Cill.
    Naomh Colm gan amhrus ar gColaman féin
    Rugadh ar an leic seo tá ceithre chéad déag bliadhain;
    Mac Feidhlimidh 'gus Eithne(?) ó'n fuil uasal ud thall
    Sliocht Cathair Móir agus Niall na Naoí nGeall.
