    bhéarsa a chúig (ar leanamhaint)
    beidh oscair eatraibh is a thuist mór fhad' aige
    nár bhris an ceangal is nár sgaoil riamh fós
    Is gur bínn a greataigh sédtaobh síos na gara fiuc
    do bhí ró-dhanartha nuair a bhíodar beo.
    Bhéarsa a sé
    níl aon sórt dearmad ná gur b'iad a thairringead
    an ghaoth is at-anfadh do bhíos ár gcrádh
    mar breidh ní chaitheann siad ná aon phioc anairte
    ach béabhar dathannach nó spanish cloth
    Siúd chugaibh ar chapaill iad a mbuailtis dhaitte oraibh
    is spir breagh geallah agus whip 'na láimh
    is ní mór go m'aithint díb ag dul le bealach iad
    thar agnid Aindrias Stacpoole nó Tighearna an Chláir
    bhéarsa a seacht
    cabhar na ngrást chughann
    is cabhar gach lá chughann
    ón t-aon mac mháthair nár dhein riamh bréag.
    Ní ar gaptacha ach geárr ar a saoghal so láithreach
    Ní fiu biorán é agus is geárr ár réim
    Acht go rabhaimíd páirte le an Riogh tá i-n áirde
    An lá claoidhfidh an bás sinn go rabhaimíd saor.
