    I bparóiste Bhaile an Phuill timpeall trí fichid bliain ó shin ann, fuair sean-fhear bás agus bhí a sean-bhean á caoineadh mar seo :-
    "Nuair a raghaidh tú féin abhaile
    Innis dóibh gur pósadh Maurus
    Le dranntánuidhe de chabhránuidhe chailighe
    Ná feicfear a síorrach choidhce
    Ar bórd bháid nó ar dhruim chapaill".
    Bhí bean eile ag éisteacht nár thaithin an chaint seo léi agus seo mar dúirt an dara bean.
    "Muireach Peggy bheith gan bhrí gan tapaidh
    Ní shínfeadh sí cliathánach síos
    Le Maurus buí smeartha
    Agus mar ar scurfar go luath do d'labhair
    Múchfad an taypot síos tríd bhathas".
