 Cia le gcoiseontar m'anam? cia éisdfeas rem uraghall? díon m'anman gá cruaidhe ceisd? mo thruaighe an t-adhbhar aitheisg. Eagal damh nach diongna achd cóir breitheamh ceart Sléibhe Si-óin lá na coinne an tráth thiocfa cách 'n-a choinne ar chuideachta. Ar an sliabh i gcoinne cáich tiocfa breitheamh laoi an luanbhráith; breath do-bhéara dhóibh ón dligheadh mo sgéala as cóir creidfidhear. Ann do-chífear an chros donn lá a taobhaidh a-tá romham ar an luigh cealg ar gcionadh is fuil dhearg an Dúiliomhan. Fóir dia Luain lá na deaghla d'eagla fheirge an tighearna ar nguais-ne, a mhaoir na meidhe, do thaoibh t'uaisle is t'impeidhe. Go hÍosa an lá do bhí i mbraid ón Athair is tú thánaig; an lá do shil crú a chroidhe a nimh fa tú an teachtaire. Neamh d'fhagháil fa ní do-ním ó nach fiu mi-se, a Mhíchíl, cóir fleadh d'fhagháil it ainm-se neamh it anáir iarraim-se. M'anam thuas dá chur i gcion i nglóir airdríogh na n-aingeal, faghar thú mar dhuais dána ó tú i nguais mo ghabhála. Déin ar síodh a Aingil fhinn re mac inghine Iaichim; mo chean tharla i dtréan t'itche re béal m'anma ar imirce. Iarrfaidh éiric ann for-íor oram do mheas mo mhíghníomh labhradh san Luan ar a pháis, mo-nuar, is adhbhar uathbháis. Biaidh lá na breithe buaine mór an t-adhbhar anbhuaine a chion ar comhair gach fhir omhain don fhior nach airigh. Muna fhuilnge Íosa ar m'olc cara éigin dom fhurtocht mairg a-tá ag teacht im eolas a cheart an lá laibheoras. A-tá 's ní feitheamh fallsa cara m'anma agam-sa gach aon dá thoghairm fa thréan darab comhainm maor Míchéal. Bíom 'n-a leith i ló an bhrátha dom dhíon ar eagla an ursgátha; an maor do char dom choimhdhe damh ní taobh re tollairbhe. Do bhualadh séala mun sídh, a mhaoir na meidhe, a Mhíchíl, is tú thaghaim, a chnú chroidhe, gabhaim thú mar theachtaire. Cia re.
