   Ar a theacht abhaile dhí do chaillsí an tobac agus nuair do mhothuig sí uaithe é do bhuail sí isteach go dtí tigh Thiomáis Ciosóig an file.

   D'iarr sí ar Tomás fógradh do scríobh dí dtaobh an tobac, agus é chuir go dtí an Sagart i dtreo go léighfidh sé é ag an Aifreann an Domhnach bhí na gceann. Seo mar scríobh an Cíosógach.

   
   A Shagairt áluinn chalma, tá nídh agam duit le fógairt;

   Púnt tobac do chaileadh idir Cill Chaoi agus tigh an Chíosógaigh

   Do chaill bean bhocht chráidhte dealbh é, do cheannuigh ar luach a cóta é

   An té fuair é, is ná tabharfaidh uaidh é, go gcaithear ar a thorramh é.
