   Is amhlaid a fuaireas "Coakley" mha shuide rómham ag cur suid ar a phiopa.
   Leí ag caisheamh á t-saoire amh chéasa as amh chrád.

   Coakley says. Dun-se anriú striócadh is imthig as mo ceónra

   Is ná cas orm cordhie ag éileamh Dophagh,

   Ulick answers. Dhimpinn-sé stríocadh is dhimtheócaim as do ceónra

   Dá drugfá dhom na "fus" beag ashuilleas man cách -

   Ba beag an maisheas do Ulick cochr chush ag cainnr, bhéigin do imriacr gan aon airgead dhfagháil i deireann sé go searbhasach

   "Coakley, an rógaire, an pedlér grandha"

   Ag dul ag bearradh na ngeánna, is ag bairr "down"

   Ce chéile, amach ós ná cnámha.
