    Cím é agus ní fhéicim é
    Cím ar bharr an aitinn é,
    Drúcht an fhéir a sgaipean sé,
    Ní stadan sé ac ag rith
    - Sgáil

    Ceatrar ar rith, cathrar ar crith
    Beirt ag deánamh solais agus Mac Ní(?)
    Bhodagáín 'na ndiaidh
    - Bó

    A's doruisín deíl air
    - Súil

    Ní gabha do dhein é ná ceárdaighe
    - Leac-oidhre
