    Bealtaine cun onóir a tabhairt do "Máthair Íosa Críost". Do thógaidís coinneal amach ins an cró cun ribí gruaige a bhíodh ar uth an bhó do dhoghadh. Ní raibh cead aca an luaithridh do caith amach as an buicéad Lá Bealtaine. Ní raibh cead aca teine do dhéanamh ar maidin go dtí go bhféiceidís gal ag teacht as tig an t-sagairt. Do bhí ortha cómhartha na croise do dhéanamh ar muin na mba le bainne an maidin sin mar deirtear go mbíodh na daoine maithe ar faire ortha agus gheibheidís cómhact ó'n diabhal ar feadh trí lá cun na ba agus leanbhaí do thógaint. Théigheadh a lán daoine amach ar maidin sin agus nighidis iad féin leis an ndrucht agus d'fhanaidís amuigh fé'n gréin go dtí go mbiodh a n-aighthe tirim. Deireadh go mbíodh croiceeann geal aca má 's rud é go ndeineidís é sin. Seo bhéarsa mar gheall air ach is oth liom a ráth nách bhfuil sé in gaedhilg agam.

    And they dried them on a towel
    That was never woven or spun".
