   Nuair thagaim-se isteach um thráthnóna, Ní bhíonn teine ná tas aice rómham ann, Teinnteán glan ná gleóite, Ach í 'na láman (?) 'na suidhe. Bíónn (?) a luirgní dóighte, Cnámh a h-uillinn scóltha, Seachaimidh an t-sórd san, Nó brisfid (?) iad bhúr gcroidhe. (Máire Ní h-Orgáin says lóman means old luggage) Tá cailín ar an mbaile seo is cuma cé h-í, Buaileann sí Maimí a's muinntir an tighe, Bíónn a bas le n-a h-éádan, 'S a léíne gan nighe, 'S a h-aibíd-shirt gearrtha ar figuir a trí. (Bíónn a bas le n-a h-éadan = hands on hips) Cam-Chéachta - Sean - Mháíre says is Irish for "The Plough that is the Great Bear, or Seven Stars in Northern Sky. She also told me that Pudóg an chinn is the Irish for Appendix, that blind finger like gut in man and animals; and that she often heard it long ago from old people when cleaning a a pig that was killed for house.
