    An t-é bhíonn tinn ní binn leis aon -rud.
    An t-é nach bhfuil láidir ní mhór dhó a bheith glich.
    Is breágh a bheith óg sa Samradh
    Caora mhór an t-úan i bhfad.
    Sé capall n h-oibhre an bia.
    Is ag Día atá gach aon rud.
    Is fearr an t-sláinnte ná na táinte
    Driathár do'n bás an chodhladh.
    Is fearr an t-imreas ná an t-uaigneas.
    Níl leigheas na luibh in- agaidh an bháis.
    Bíonn bainne geal ag buaibh dubha.
    Is saidhbhir iad na boicht i láthair Dé.
    Ceannuigh deagh-rud is tá agat saor-rud,
    Ceannuigh droc-rud is beir gan aon -rud.
    Is fea'rr an té eirgheann ná an té a tuiteann
    Ní caith do shaoghal díomhaoin
    Is fearr leath bhairghín na a bheith gan arán.
    Mol an óige agus tiocfaid sí.
    An té a shuibhlann ar uibhibh na foláir - do coiscéim éadtrom a bheith aige.
