- Seo sláinte gach h-aon a bhfuil mo spéis ann sá’n chlár
A bhfeil intinn gan claon aige, agus méin mhaith ann a lár;
Is fiosach damh fhéin ann, aoinnidh amháin
Nach bhfuil beadaidheacht gan feidhm leis a’ té udaigh ‘tá i láthairA Mharcuidhe chaoin uasail a ghluais chugainn ó’n Spáinn,
An ársuigh tú damhsa gan gruaim
Cá h-uair a fuair buachaill Uí Choncubhair bás?
Is marcuidhe caoin uasail mé a bhfuil fuasgailt gach cúis ann mo láimh
Nuair a a d’fhuirigh a chroidhe a’s a chrámha
Sin an lá a’s an uair a fuair buachaill Uí Choncubhair básI gCarraig na gCoinneal tá sgillidí óir,Seistrighe capall a’s caoirigh go leór;
Dá mbéidheadh sin agam, a’s maistrighe bó
Bhearfainn a meas do mo ghrádh gheal.(Carraig na gCoinneal: Candlefort Hill, Inniskeen).
Cearc uisce ar loch uisce a’s í phlubarnaigh phlabarnaigh.
Dearfainn trí huaire gan fuaireadh de m’anal.An áit a mbíonn an stráic, is doiligh a bhaint faoi.
(It is hard to humble a proud person)
B’fhorus fuineadh cois mine, nó, is forus fuineadh a gcois mine.
(It is easy to bake when one has meal)
Chan fhuil gar a bheith a’freim, ar chreideamh gan céill. Nach nglacann uaim réim mo chomhairle.
(There is no use trying to advise a silly person)
Is fearr suidhe ann a aice nó ann a áit.
(Better to sit beside it than in its place)
Is iomdha rud a tháirluigheann nach mbíonn dúil leis. (thárluigh)
(Many an unexpected thing happens)
Lá níos aosta, lá mór measa.
Sláinte ó bhalla go balla a’s má tá daoine anns a mballa labhraigidh
(A toast, health from wall to wall, and if there are people in the wall let them speak)
Char ghoid tú sin.
(You didn’t steal that. Said when accusing a person of a hereditary fault.)
Focal bréig’ ‘s a bhéal faoi.
(A lie, and its mouth under it)
Dia leat ach mur snaoisín a chaith tú.
(Said to a person after sneezing. God bless you if it is not snuff you have taken.)(continues on next page)
