    Is bocht an sagart nach mbionn cleireach aige.
    An ait i n-a mbionn na mna bionn cainnt.
    Is minic bhaineas duine slat a bhuailfeas e fein.
    An te nac n-olann acht uisge ni bionn se ar mesige.
    Is beag an ghaoth nach lubfadh traithnin.
    An te is mo cainnt se is lugha obair.
    Is deacair ceann crionna a chur ar ghuailnigh oga.
    Bionn adharca fada ar bhuaibh thar lear.
    An te bhios 'na dhroch sheirbhiseach do fein bionn se 'na sheirbiseach mhaith do dhaoine eile.
    Muna g-cuirfidh tu san Earrach, ni bhainfidh tu san b-Foghmhair.
