    Ní thuiteann Sneachta ar chraobh ann,
    Ní luigheann Sioch ná ghaoth ann
    Tá na gloinneacha dhá bpleasgadh leis an ghréin ann
    Sé ionmhuin (?) lucht an Úgdair
    Dá mhéud dá rith a gcúrsa
    Go b'é an Torcalach plúr sgoth na nGaedheal.

    Acht beug Caoilte, Bhaile an Mhianaigh
    Ba aoibhneas do'n t-saoghal é
    Ní bheadh a leithide ar an taobh seo d'Éire
    Tá na Scalúin agus Meachain Buidhe ann,
    "Carraway Seed" agus "Leeks"
    Agus tá Pibhir (?) do'n t-saoghal uilig go léir ann.

    Déanfaidhe casán árd
    Treasna tríd an pháirch
    Béidh bealach ag a lan ag déunamh pléisiúr
    Tá tae agus caife (ag) fás ann
    Tobach faoi Fhéil Phádhraig
    Is na "Cucumbers" go láidir faoi Fhéil Bhríghidh

    Caithfidh sé Mach Uí Dhubhghaill
    A fháhail ó "Chaptaoin Búrchach"
    Go ngraftáile sé ubhla ann is "Peaches"
