    Bhí cailín aon uair amháin ann agus bhí triúr buachaill ag ruirghe léithi, agus dubhairt sí an té b'fhearr aca a chumfadh ceol go bpósfadh sí é. Bhí saor agus gabha agus congbhálaidhe ann.
    Is é a dubhairt an saor :-
    'An gcuala tú ariamh ceol ba bhinne
    Ná dhá shaor déag ag déanamh luinge;
    A thuagh féin i láimh gach duine,
    'Siad suas 's anuas buille ar bhuille?
    Labhar an gabha annsin agus dubhairt:-
    'An gcuala tú ariamh ceol ba bhinne
    Ná dhá ghabha déag ag déanamh grille
    A lámh-ord féin i láimh gach duine
    'S iad ag dul suas is anuas buille ar bhuille?
    Labhair an congbhálaidhe annsin agus is é a dubhairt sé:-
    'An gcuala tú ariamh ceol ba bhinne
    Ná ceirseach mhall i ngleanntaibh coilleadh;
    Dearadóis leobhtha agus é dá mbroiduighadh
    'S é ag tionntadh an dún-fhóid aníos.
