    Stad do do sheanmóir is leig do shiansa,
    Is eagcoir nár chodail tú i gcúl claidhe nó díge
    No nach dteachaidh tú go toigh leanna achathadh do píghne
    Tráth bhí mise i mo thrabloir 'gus mar sin do gnidhinn 's ín bo.

    (VII)
    O'c, níor aithneas toig tabhairne romham'sa' t-slíghe-sé,
    Mur rachainn go Granard fa'n taca seo d'oidhche
    Is bhéadh siad na gcodladh is bhéadh leisg ortha éirighe
    'S ní fiu do d'olaid mé an t-asdar a dhéanadh's ín bo.

    (VIII)
    Tá an oidhche ag sioc 's tá'n ghealach ag éirighe
    Is nil an t-astar comh fada 's shílir.
    Siud suas an bealach is lean é go díreach
    Go Droichead na gCailleach 's go Cartun na gCaorac 's ín bo

    (IX)
    Annsin ghlac Art mó leithscéal go caomheamhail,
    Nuair a shíl sé gur Straggler as Co. na Midhe me,
    A ghoidfeadh a hata, a bhatha 's a bhríste
    Go fiu slat a phata, an crócadh 's a phíopa 's ín bo

    (X)
    Thoisig an tróid agus thoisig an sgannsáil
    Leag muid an teach 's ní raibh ag Art acht a ghann chuid
    Thog mé mó bhata 'gus bhuail me sa taobh e
    'S d'fág me Árt Ó Ceallaig sínte sa ghríosaidhe 's ín bo.
