FEARGHAL ÓG MAC AN BHAIRD cct.

 Mairg nach doirteann a dhéara cioth déar do dhruim aithmhéala do bháidhfeadh diomdha an té as triar; do ba diongna é d'aimhríar. Do dhearbhadh ar dhéaraibh Póil san tigh thuas gur thuill onóir fuair a thoil ó thriath nimhe; ag soin fiach a aithrighe. Treall dá aimsir—anba an choir— do bhí Pól, posd an chrábhaidh, —ní hiúl é ag nach aghair fréamh— i n-aghaidh Dé 's a dheibhléan. Beantar dhé lá do na láibh an éaraic uile anbháil a amharc mar badh dual dó; a radharc uadh do éaló. Pól easbal ag iarraidh grás fearais cioth déar tre dhólás; do-ní d'aithrighe ann soin maithmhighe thall gur thobhoigh. A shíothcháin a dhéar budh dhéin, tugadh a amharc ainn-séin is glóir bhuan an Dúilimh dhó; a rúinnimh uadh do iompó. Peadar an t-easbal eile fríoth leis luach a aithrighe; a thriath fa thrí an tann do shéan do-chí gur bh'am don Fhíréan. Séana a thíghearna fa thrí le caoi do chuir ar neimhní; osna dhomhuin is dáil déar do bháidh fholaidh an Fhíréan. Fuair fós Muire Magh-da-léan luach a haithrighe on Fhíréan; do thuill choróin san tigh thall; do bhir onóir dá hanam. Le huisge a nuaidhéar do nigh Muire lá do na laithibh troigheach naomhdha ríogh na ríogh do bhíodh aobhdha re a heissíodh. Na seacht ndeamhain—díochra an tsearc— do bhean Críosd eisde i n-aoinfheacht; do radadh luagh a deor dhí ar n-a leodh d'Uan na hóighe. Loingíonus fós feacht oile dhó ar n-osgladh a uchtchroidhe fuair a shíoth do dhruim a dhéar, gé do thuill fhíoch on Fhíréan. Gach neach dá dtug triath nimhe flaitheas Dé ar aoi a n-aithrighe —a ghuidhe is díor dá gach dhruing— a ríomh uile ní fhéadfuinn. Go ndearnar aithrighe im ulc mar na deibhléana a-dubhart; laithe a bháis do hoirneadh inn páis an Choimdheadh go gcaoininn. An lucht fuair flaitheas nimhe le hiomarcaidh aithrighe, fa dheireadh gomadh díobh sinn; geimheal far-íor ar mh'inntinn. An glas cruaidh-se dom chridhe go mbeana braon aithrighe; fuaire mo bhéas ag reodh riom mo dheor do ghréas i ngéibheann. An cioth do chuir Dar-daoin de do ghuais péine na páise —cioth mo shúl do budh lór lais— gomadh lón dún an díoghrais. Uisge glas do-ghéabha uam tighearna na dtrí mórshluagh fan fhuil dheirg dhamh-sa do dháil do sheilg ar mh'annsa d'fhagháil. Fliuchad aighthe anba an grádh —nior bhréag é bláth an domhnán— 's an chlí do thiormuigh dar dtal ar tí ionnluigh gach anman. Ar ndáil a fhola uile dia hAoine dar n-ionghuire ní raibhe ann aonbhraon d'fhuil; an taobhghaol thall do thiormuigh. Le haonbhraon d'fhearthain dá fhuil do cheinneochadh clann Ádhaimh 's gan chrú a chlí d'fhearthain uile; do bhí an fhearthain iomuin-ne. Níor bh'fhiú a dtáinig 's a dtiocfa fuil an Choimdheadh choisreagtha sileadh phinn do dhortadh dhí gan sinn dom fholcadh eisde. Gér lor aonbhraon dhíobh dom dhíon cuirim m'fhaosamh tar m'eissíodh ar gach bhraon dar dhoirt damh-sa; do sgoilt a thaobh treamhum-sa. Cuirim m'fhaosam ar a fhuil, 's ar a bhás 's ar a bheathaidh, 's ar chúig croidhibh ríogh na reann; síodh an troighigh go dtuaiream. Cuirim ar an gcoróin sbín mo chomairce ar aoi m'eissídh, 's ar an digh dhomblais ad ibh, 's ar donnbhais dhil an Dúilimh. Ar an gceann do chlaon re chrois cuirim mo dhíon tre dhíoghrais ar ndín-ne ar an troigheach thinn do ríne an t-oineach inghill. Tuir chothuighthe na córa m'fhaosamh re hucht n-iarnóna; is díon mo mhíothaom go moch bíodh ar a chlíothaobh chréachtach. An crann i ndeachaidh dar ndíon is nochtadh oidhre an Airdríogh do shaor tre chonnailbhe ar gcoir; mo chomairghe ar-aon orraibh. Dá fhaosamh daoine an domhain do shaor a uaigh fhíordhomhuin 's a eisléine an uile fhear cneischéile Muire maighdean. M'fhaosamh ar a éirghe ón uaigh is ar chreich Ifrinn adhfhuair; mo choimhdhe ar leic far luigh; a reic oirn-ne do fhuasguil. An toil thug Críosd dar gcabhair ag sin éideadh m'anaghail grádh buan an Dúilimh dhamh-sa mar lúirigh uadh umam-sa. Muire óg earla glúineach damh-sa gomadh díonlúireach ó tharla a lán d'éigion ann a grádh 'n-a éidiodh umum. Muire corm an chrábhaidh the ní daorfuidhear sinn seice; earla glan na ngéigfhiodh bhfionn budh éideadh dhamh a dícheall. Do gonadh is i n-a ghoin dia hAoine í ar a aghaidh an choirpsheang tre chailg an gha; mairg nach doirteann a dhéara. M. Ainm Beadair na mbriathar nglic carrag chothuighthe an chreidimh fuair is-tigh an-uas an ainm sgaradh ris ro bu romhairg. Mairg.
