Dlighe Shasanna, a fhágaint in Éirinn."
Trí fichid blian ó shoin chuala an scéul san ó Pádraig Ó Seanacháin, bhí na chomhnuí i gCill Fionáin, agus bhí sé féín trí ficid nú deich mblian is trí fichid san am san.
- Seán was one day near Kilbarry, Dunmanway and he was drunk. He lay against a fence inside of which there was a Lochán Uisge, and whatever turn he gave he fell in. There was a poor woman, half cracked, passing by and she saw him. She went over to where he was and helped him out, and I suppose the water knocked some of the drowsiness out of him. The woman started abusing him and said it was a shame for a scholar like him to be drunk before the people. Her talk vexed him and he spoke as follows:-"Fear na meisce síoraidhe,
Agus bean ar buile síntighe
Agus bean na buile
Dá cur i dtuisgint
D'fear na meisce a dhroch-phuíntí"
