    Séamus Mac Murchadha
    A Shéamus Mac Murchadha, fíor scoith na bhfear uasal,
    A phlannda de'n fhíor-chraoibh a shíolruigh as na huaisle,
    Is cosamhail nar shaoil tú go raibh gaol duit le ruacradh
    Nó nár éalaigh tú san oidhche sul ar díoladh faoi do luach thú.
    Is truagh gan mé 'mo fhraochóigh ar thaoibh Mhalaidh Sléibhe,
    Ná mar ghas raithnigh a bhéadh i n-aice na gréine,
    Ná mar Shéamus 'ac Murchadh a bhfearr a shiubhal Éire,
    Ní fheicfear ar an Chabhán mé go Nodlaigh 'na dhiaidh sin.
    Éireochaidh mé amarach le luath éirghe na gréine,
    Siubhalfaidh mé an áit seo agus gárda ar gach taoibh díom;
    Béidh claidheamh ann gach láimh leo agus ní áirighim lucht gunnaí
    Agus i n-íochtar na sráide tá an bás fá mo choinne
