    Lá an éiginn sead feactar an caraid is fearr
    Ní theigeann cuilleog san mbeal a bhíonn dúnta
    Nuair is fearr an greann isead is fearr leigeann dó
    Is fearr dreoilin sa dorn na corr ar cáirde
    Oineac Uí Bhriain is a dá shúil na diaidh
    Céard a dhéanfad an cath ach luch a mharbhadh
    An an is doilighe le duine bfheidir gurab é a leas é
    Gach duine ag iarraid bheith ag tochras ar a cheirtlín féin
    Ní bhfuigheann minic ónóir
    Ní théigheann cuileóg san mbéal a bhíonn dúnta
    Is mór é ceannacht an réidhtigh
    Fág an tír no bí sa bhfaisiún
    Is námhaid an chéird gan í a fhoghluim
    An té a bhíonn amuigh fuaruigeann a cuid
    An té a leigeann a lean ar cáirde in fearrde go minic é
    Athruigheann sí port sa Meitheamh sa Lugnasa: caithfe sí teicead
    Iompuigh do chul le Moinin na gCiseach
