    Tá cuid mhór sean fhocla ag na daoine ins an áit seo. Rinne na daoine cuid mhór sean fhocail ibhfad ó shoin. Rinne siad sean fhocla fá dtaobh dó rudaí a chonnaic siad daoine a' dhénamh. Ní bhíonn na daoine ag dhéanamh sean fhocla anois mar a bhíodh siad i bhfad ó shoin. Seo iad na rudaí a chualaidh mise.
    Cuir síoda ar ghabhar a's gabhar i gcomnuidhe é
    Is binn béal na thost
    Níl sé choidhche ró mhall le foghluim
    Itheann muca min féin treasg
    Na caith an tuisge salach amach go mbéidh an t-uisge glan istoigh
    Ribeadh tead agus gabhail ar mire
    Níl tú a dhath níos féarr na caora dhall

    Sé an míneadh atá leis an chead ceann má chuireann duine míofar éádaigh úr air deirfidh na sean daoine, "Cuir síoda ar ghabhar a's gabhar i gcomhnuidhe é."
