- (1) Mícheal Ó’Caradain leis an Cailleach Ghállda
Éirigh do shuidhe a bhean a’ toighe
‘Scaith an diabhal as do chroidhe
Tug aníos giota de’n im buidhe
Atá sa’ chofra i gcionn an toighe
Sul mar dtugaidh an Riamhas? leis thú
Mar thug sé leis an cearc mhór bhuidhe
Da bfaghtha? buille dé’n criotaigh, buille dé’n bhriotaigh, buille dé’n bhoimsach mór, buille dé’n staifeach coróin, chuirfeadh sé cainnt agus coisidheacht ‘na chósra leat.
Ma mhasluigh mé an cailleach
Ní maith liom go deárn mé’n chainnt
Na creid briathra fear-buile
Ní chanann sé ach glór gan suim.
- (2). Antoine h-Alfeartaigh leis an t-sagairt.
Bhal! cé gur mhilis do bhriathna
Is fritheamhal? druidthe do dhórn
‘Na bhFlaitheas ma - théid fial
Ar ndóighe níl tú dréim a bheith ceo
‘Na bhFlaitheas ma théid tú
‘S gan chiall atá Peadar ‘s Pól.
