- (continued from previous page)Sonuachar de'n donuacharIts not the time to save when all is spent
Never leave until to-morrow the thing that can be done to-day
All is not gold that glitters
When the wine is in the wit is outIs mór na big i gceann a céile
Dlighe comaoine a chuiteamhMá theigheann cáil na moch-eirighe amach ar fear ní misde dó coladh go meadhon-laeNí úasal ná íseal act thuas seal agus thios sealRioghact gan duadh, ní dúal go bhfaightear
Bíonn ciún cionntach
Tabhair aire dod churam féin
Is fusa a radh ná a dheanamhWe never miss the water until the well runs dry
Trí rudaí deacair a dhéanamhTeine a lasadh ar loc,
Cómhairle do thabhairt do bhean bhorb, agus
Cloc do chaitheamh i gcoinnibh na taoide
Seo dubhairt fear a bhí dúil san tobach aigeNí truagh fear gan bó gan caoire
Ní truagh fear gan bean san oidhche
Acht is truagh fear gan gal sa phíopa
Trí droch nósaag ól an gloine
ag caitheamh an phíopa
Is ag siubhal na druachta go mall san oidhche
