    (continued from previous page)
    As you sow, so must you reap.
    Teine mhaith mhónadh
    Pota maith fataí
    Agus an cíos íoctha
    ("In my young days, we thought we were on the pig's back if we had the above)
    Dubhán mór 's beagán fearthainne

    When Thady Winters taught my father in the Hedge school - this is a verse he gave them (to learn the English)
    Yesterday morning agus maidin indé
    I killed a goose agus mharbhuigh mé gé
    I cut my fingers agus ghearras mo mhéur
    Sorra Matther agus nach truagh an scéul
