    (IV)
    Is a Chuach na Finne má d'imthigh tú lé do nead,
    Síar go h-Iorrus an áit a mblígtear go fíor na bá,
    Ma's mé Cuach na Finne is gur imigh mé lé mo nead
    Ní dhearna mé aon dochar nach bhfillinn arís ar m'ais.

    (V)
    Síar in Iorruis atá cuid de mo chomhluadar,
    Plannda an inghin a d'eitigh mé posadh aréir,
    Labhair sgéal uaim chuicí gur minic a phóg mé a béal,
    Is go bpógad í tuilleadh má theannfaidh mé bothar leití. (bolacht leithi)

    Ná pos bean follamh, is ró-bheag an mhaith í le fághail,
    Ná buachallín sgaithte nach mbeadh aige talamh ná tráigh,
    Nuair a thig an dá fhollamh, téigheann síad ag síar clamhsain,
    Is ó bhéireas bean leanbh is ro-bheag a diol sníomhacháin.
