    Caigle midh an teine seo Mar chaigleann Criosta an cá. Muire na bón agus Brigidh in a báir. Dá oispeak dhé. Tá blasa mich dé. Cuigid an tigh seo agus na daoine go lár.
    As I lie down on this bed of sleep my soul I give to God to keep; whether I rise now or ever, my soul I give to God for ever. Four corners on this bed four angels on them spread. Matthew, mark, Luke and John God bless this bed that I lie on. If I die before I wake I pray to God my soul to take. If any evil spirit comes before day mother of Jesus come save is and send them away.
