    Dubhairt sé go raibh fear ag imirt cartaí san áit sin. I lár na h-oidhche bhí sé ag teacher abhaile agus do bhuail an spear-bhean air.
    Ros na Coille-- áit in-aice Dunmaonmhuighe
    Bun Ros na Coille
    Ag bun Ros na Coille
    Do thuitim an druacht aréir
    In am a chonnach an inge-bhean alúinn séimh
    Do druidess in-a coinnibh a dún dul a praisglá leí
    Sé dubairt ar bhuile tú duine ní doigh duit mé.

    D'fhios airís dearbhtha an anniar cá do seoladh í
    Nú maireann na duine nú miste le gábhail um féin
    Is cionn-sa is cneasta do labhar sí cómhradh shéimh
    I gcuirfinn an imirt do ghliotta cú garta leí.

    Go luigheamar ar imirt is ní thuigheadh liom cómhair géar
    Is d'réir mar a thuigheadh an cuireat do bhuaileadh é
    Is nuair a rug sí súid an cluiche is gliste mar adubhairt leí
    Níl aon gnó agam abhaile ó chailleas an chuighiú géar.
    IV
    Mâ bhuadhas an cluiche is cruinneas ní bíodh ort brón
    Teanam abhaile is gheobhas beatha-uisce is fionta ar bórd
    Ór ar do ghlacha is capaill mean-chroídhe chun spóirt
    Geobhadh tú léasa trí fearan talamh gan cíos go seo.
