- (continued from previous page)Tá mo mhargadh socair le Síle,
Is ní brisfeadh é Éire ar fad,
Gan spleáchas do mháithair ná do mhuínnthir,
Raghadh sé chún chínn gan stad,
Pósad sa chathair an mhí seo,
Is déanfhadh an sagart a dhiol go maith,
Is nár dhothchaí dúinn fanacht ins an tír seo.
Rachaimídh síos amach.

Ag bun an tíghe seo shios seadh do bhíosha sealadh go sáin,
Do dhíolfhainn an cíos trí mhí sar a dtagadh an lá,
Bacaigh na h-Éireann im dhiaid le na gceanntainí stáin,
Is ní ghlacfidist déirc uaim ach braon do bainne an ghabair bháin.
II
Is minic a bhíosa im shuide roim racmadh go sámh,
Bainne sa mhaoil agus luíghe na muca ar an bpáirc,
Ba beaga gaoil cois an tíghe ag fuitheamh le mná,
Is ní chuirfidist tuim atá fíor í reacht an gabair bháin.(continues on next page) - Collector
