Duine ná beadh aon tig aige ach bothár,
Aon biadh aige ach criochán,
And Deoch aige ach sruthán,
Aon Chómhla aige ach scolpán,
Aon teine aige ach cadhrán. - Dairbhre gan crann
Caith do bhricfeast sar a dtéighir ann
Oileán mhara idir dhá uisce
Agus mná gan tuiscint ann
Bhí fear a'tighe go trom
B'fada síos é a cheann
Bean a'tighe ag gol 's a brúighean
'S a' bagairt ar a clann -
"Druididh suas a chlann, Níl aon tslighe agaibh ann,
Ach cosa fuara i n-agaidh na h-uara ag teacht anuas
bhur gceann.(continues on next page)
