- (continued from previous page)Mo Chara 's mo ghrádh thú
A Dhiarmuid Uí Dhaidhe
Mar bo mhó da bholg ná bolg á chomhrá
agus ba mhó do ceann ná gearra-chruach móna
Agus do gheabhfadh an abha cré poll do sgórnach

Another of his compositions is -

Rucsam, racsam, gráinín racsam
Cad e'n méid mac a bhí ag an Rígh
Mac Indiú, Mac indé
Dá réag mac i dtóin an tighe
Sceinn síos a sprideóigín bhig bhuidhe
Tabhair leat na caoire as na gabhair
A's ná dearmhad an caora dubh

Mac Coitir got grazing for his goats finally, from Seán Ó Daidhe as shown in the following, composed for him.
Sé Seán Ó Daidhe an Sár-fhear ceann grádhmar nar cheacharda
Thug féar mo gabhairín bháin dom a's níl aon chásamh ar m'aigne
Nuair a thugas ó'n dcóin bhán í ní raibh áic agam go stadfadh sí
'dtí gur shéol sé ar barra fásaig í láimh le clais an áifrinn
A's tá mo ghabhair i bhfásac maith go bhfuil glasara
An cé síubhlaigh tuath Phortlairge, Ceann t-Sáile agus Callain
'S go bhfuil rogha an Domhain le n-áireamh i ngleann álainn na hEaghalaise(continues on next page)
