- (continued from previous page)Nuair thagaim-se isteach um thráthnóna,
Ní bhíonn teine ná tas aice rómham ann,
Teinnteán glan ná gleóite,
Ach í 'na láman (?) 'na suidhe.
Bíónn (?) a luirgní dóighte,
Cnámh a h-uillinn scóltha,
Seachaimidh an t-sórd san,
Nó brisfid (?) iad bhúr gcroidhe.(Máire Ní h-Orgáin says lóman means old luggage)
Tá cailín ar an mbaile seo is cuma cé h-í,
Buaileann sí Maimí a's muinntir an tighe,
Bíónn a bas le n-a h-éádan,
'S a léíne gan nighe,
'S a h-aibíd-shirt gearrtha ar figuir a trí. (Bíónn a bas le n-a h-éadan = hands on hips)
