    Your muses nine with me combine,
    And help me make narration,
    Whilst I relate poor reynard's fate,
    And where the hunters chased him
    Níl béurla binn agam faraoir,
    Ná teanga mhilis Gaodhluinn
    Ach dá bhfuiginn-se cunntas ó na h-ughdair
    Do 'neósfainn brígh mo scéil díbh
    In sweet Doneraile do chaitheas mo saoghal,
    And all my generations
    Gan buairt gan baoghal till the Mallow Rakes
    Disturbed my habitation
    Through Carkir Pike I took a strike,
    Do bhí uaisle an dá chonddae ann,
    When I heard horns sound and cry of the hounds
    Agus é roim éirighe na gréine.
    'Tis then I knew I'd no time to lose
    'Nuair a dhearcas iad 'na dtáintibh
    Through Shanballymore I took a stroll
    Is amach tré Mhóir Siar Séanach
    Out through Rockmill and Fuincheon's Glen
    Nó go sroiseas Baile 'n Mhistéala
    Where I saw the court and all confused
    Is an áit go léir tré chéile
