    Droichead ar loch gan maide gan cloch.
    (Siocán ar loch)
    Bhí sé ag cur no go dteachaidh sé a’ chur
    A’s nuair a chuaidh sé a chur, stad sé.
    (Fear ag cur phreátai agus nuair a chuaidh sé ag cur fearthanna, stad sé.)
    Gearrán bán ag dul le h-ált
    A’s é ag trompaidheacht.
    (Sruthán)
    Trí muca fhiadhain ar dhroichead Óneá
    Cuirim gad in do ghiall mura
    Dtomhaiseann tú sin.
    (Sin trí fircín ime)
