    Nead ag an dreoilín
    Mar bhéas ag an ghandal
    Cearc uisge ‘gus an spideóg.
    Ag gabhail amhrain ar thrumpa,
    Madadh ruadh is a ingean.
    Ann go fínealta ag damhsa,
    ‘S olfamuid sláinte na néanlaith.
    VII
    Níor bhain an dhreoilin a hata de.
    Go dtáinig sé ‘na láthair
    Bhual an-tiolar spur air.
    Agus thug sé léim a bha bhán.
    Na rabh míle maith agat
    A iolar mhór na spaige.
    Na beag ar thóin do putóige
    Mise is clann mo mháthartha
    ‘S ólfamuid sláinte na néanlaith.
    VIII
    Gheall an t-iolar a hata domh
    Ar leitid mo baise de lásaí.
    Bonn garbh airgid
    In a lamh féin na s
    Stocai míne géala air
    ‘S bróga leathar Spáinne
    An bhfuil an fhear ag coramac.
    Na ag liam an paidrín pháirtigh
    ‘S olfamuid sláinte na n-eanlaith.
