224 deagh-chumtha le prionnsa óg. Nuair a bhí an stócach seo i n-aois a chúig mbliadhan déag chinn sé an tsean-áit a fhágáil agus an t-Oileán úr a bhaint amach. Rinne sé amhlaidh agus fuair sé post maith thall ag obair i dteach dhuine uasail mhóir. Bhí inghean ag an duine uasal seo agus bhí sí ar an gcailiín ab' fhíor-dheise dá bhfaca suil duine riamh.

Ach, chuir mo bhuachaill an scéal amach go raibh a athair i n-a thighearna sa mbaile i n-Éirinn agus go raibh fuil righthe na h-Éireann i n-a chuisleacha féín ó thaobh na máthar.
