AONGHUS FIONN Ó DÁLAIG cct.

 Cionnus dhíolfad mo luach leighis? an liaigh neamhdha is é rom fhóir; rachaidh sinn do dhíon ar ndocra dá dhíol do rinn molta mhóir. Tuilleadh ré dá ndáile dhamh-sa díoghrais molta as mhó iná so an liaigh neamhdha do-ní ar bhféaghain is í ar meanma a déanaimh dhó. Ní d'iarraidh cruidh ná cuach n- órdha. ní d'iarraidh airgid ná óir, do-ní ar bhfreagrai-ne i ndáil docra fáidh eagnaidhe an mholta mhóir. Annsa leis-sean leathrann molta ná maith bhréige an bheatha bhuain; labhra chaoin is croidhe fialchar ní maoin oile iarrthar uaidh. Fóir, a liaigh chabhra na cruinne, an corp fuar-sa ar a bhfuil sgís; a shaoi leagha an leighis amhra leighis cneadha m'anma ar-ís. A n-imtheacht ní damhna doilghis an déad daithgheal ná an dearc mhall; ní díol uaille an chalann chneasbhán truaighe an t-anam easlán ann. Ós é shire mar luach leighis ní leasg leam-sa cur do chlú; a liaigh mo chridhe as cóir d'adhradh, glóir nimhe is talmhan tú. Tú an Dia gan deireadh gan tosach tú an ceard do chruthuigh gach dúil a rí na n-uile is na n-aingeal do ghuidhe is í as daingean dúinn. I mbroinn na hóighe is tú tháinig tú do cheannaigh cách led chrú, tú an taitneamh as sia soilse, Dia ar nach faightear tuirse tú. Tú mhínigheas an mhuir anfaidh is arduigheas an mhuir mhín; a liaigh do theilg fhuil an ochta ní fhuil ceird as docra díbh. Do-ghéabh óm liaigh luach a mholta mac na hóighe as airde duas dath a dheilbhe ar na gaoibh goile eidhre saoir an toighe thuas. Dá dtáir mei-se aonuair eile ón éag chinnte tá ar mo thí bíodh mo bhás is bíodh mo bheatha fa ghrás ríogh an bheatha bhí. Beir, a Mhíchíl, mé ar do bhuidhin beag do-ním achd beart bun 's cionn caithfead trá dola ar do dhílse ó tá fola óm rígh-se riom. Cionn.
