    Muna dtigidh Rí an Domnaigh
    'S ar dtárthail a bheith le fághail
    Béidh muid go h-uaigneach
    Ar mhéad a's gheobhas bás.
    VII
    Tá an t-earrach cruaidh láidir
    'S beidh an spád in ar ndórn
    Tá'n fóghmhar mar an gcéadna
    A's gan tarthail le fághail.
    Neillie Bheag, bean Mhic Chonaill, a thug an tamhran seo dom. Deir sí gurbh í a mhathair mhór - Nellie Ní Ghallchobhair - nó "Nellie Thailligh" a chum é in am an droch shaoghail. Bhí "Nellie Thailligh" lá amháin ag béal an iomaire ag baint phréataí. Bhí sé ag sarú oirthi eadail ar bith fhághail. Le brón agus tuirse, shuidh sí síos ar an iomaire agus chum sí an dán adaí shuas.
