 Mairg bheireas díogha dá dheoin mairg thréigeas teagh an ghnáithcheoil ar threibh ndoibhinn ndiamhair nduibh go bhfoirinn fhiallaigh uathmhair. Ar comhaonta deibhléan ndubh mairg thréigeas teaghlach glórmhar; an díogha nochan í as fhearr; ní críonna an tí nach tuigeann. Tuas a-tá teach na soillse tíos a-tá—tuar síorthoirrse— teach eighreadhta an diabhail dhoirbh seinleabtha fhiallaigh Iofoirn. Tíos a-tá an triath as mheasa tuas a-tá—tuar aoibhneasa— an flaithfhear ós na finibh nar caitheadh 's nach caithfidhir. Tíos a-tá an triath is dorcha tuas a-tá—tuar neamhorchra— an Coimdhe do chruthuigh mé oidhre suthain na soillse. Flaitheamhnas gan fhoircheann air thíos a-tá an triath rer dhealuigh; tuas tarla an triath nar tubhadh sgiath gach anma d'anaghal. Rí ar a dtá togha dealbha tuas a-tá 'n-a thighearna; tíos tarla an triath go n-ainimh; liach a adhbha d'ionnsaighidh. Mairg thréigeas ar thriath na locht Athair na n-uile gcumhacht rí gan aonlocht, rí na reann do bhí taobhnocht im thimcheall. Mairg ler seachnadh saidhbhreas grás ar threibh bhoicht i mbí dólás; ní críonna cor an phobuil do ghabh díogha dearlagaidh. Go ndíbrir óm intinn é an tí as duibhe ná an duibhré; tre thoirrse go dtí im chroidhe rí na soillse suthoine. Bheith bithbheo gidh bé len áil dá dtréigeadh níor thuar conáigh grás as líonmhaire ná an luibh ar bhás shíordhuidhe shuthuin. Seachna Iosa ar Ifreann fhuar malairt ghuirt dan gar diombuadh an oighidh fhíre is í soin; ríghe ní bhí ag a bhiodhbhaidh. Gille as mhó d'inmhe agus d'fhuil biaidh 'n-a throich ó sin suas-ain más é as rí ar an talmhain truim dá dtí go hadhbhaidh Iofruinn. An té bhíos ó thigh go toigh má théid don teaghdhais ghlórmhair bídh fa onóir ó sein suas; do-gheibh coróin ón choguas. Sireadh Muire ar a mac dhil m' fhurtocht i n-aimsir m'éigin; tar m'olc síor ná séanadh sionn dom dhíon déanadh a dhíchioll. Go rabh leam i ló ar ngábhaidh líog lógmhar shíl sheanÁdhaimh Muire ghlórmhar géag ós fhiodh séad na n-ógbhan 's na n-aingeal. Fios a hóghdhachta ag gach aon bíodh feasda tar mhéid mo mhíothaom dom thaighdeadh don tigh thall-ain maighdean dil do dhearbhamair. Mairg.
