    Trí nidh neamh - thuigsionách.-
    Inntleacht mná, mil na mbeachóg,
    Teacht a’s imtheacht na taoide.
    Ni phi cian a masse in choirp.
    Sin giota sean - ghaedhilge agus is ionann é a’s a rádh:
    Ní mhaireann maise, nó áilneacht an chuirp i bhfad.
    Tri comartha meraigi:-
    Slicht a chire in a folt,
    Slicht a fiacal in a chuid,
    Slicht a luirge in a diaid.
