DONNCHADH MÓR Ó DÁLAIGH cct.

 Námha m'anma an chalann chriadh, a hantal is damhna déar; ag lot mh'anma is sí 'n-a suan an chlí is truagh mar tharla tréan. Truagh m'anam uaim ar a hiocht an chalann do-chuaidh tar ceart; ní thig díom díon ar a holc do bhríogh a locht tríom ag teacht. Beag sein dá lochtaibh gach laoi gan a beith fa bhochtaibh Dé; ní fa annsa do b'fhearr í an chlí fhallsa do mheall mé. Ní díol toile gloin a gníomh; mairg a toil do-roighne riamh; leas mh'anaim nach éidir dhúnn séididh fúnn an chalainn chriadh. Toil na clí-se as ghirre gnaoi mar do-ním-se is misde mé; mairg dar bhiodhbha anman í do-ní adhbhar diomdha Dé. A ruachtain a ríogh ar th'iocht do bhríogh a n-uarais dom ulc; i n-iomdhaidh talmhan ar dteacht seacht mbiodhbhaidh mh'anman rem ucht. Tréigean meisge ní hé m'fhonn; ní mó tréigthear leisge liom; guais mar dhíolas an teagh thall; díomas do bharr cean im chionn. Ar ndamhnadh ar ndéinimh craois ní héidir nach adhbhar cáis i ló an mheasda is cruaidh an chúis; ní theasda drúis uaim gan áis. Guais nach rogha leabtha luath, ar mbearta folaigh ó fríoth, gan fúin acht comhrag re cách, dúil ghnáth i bhformad 's i bhfíoch. Mun dtí d'Éanmhac Ríogh na ríogh tar fíoch go ngéabhadh ar ngaol séideadh feirge is fuatha fún ní feirrde ar súr uatha ar-aon. Dul 'n-a séana is docar dhúnn ar bharr Éanmhac th'ochta, a ógh; ní gan charta troma tám nár mo lachta i rolla róm. Ón tí a-tá do bhí agus bhias go dtí im dhál—dian a luas— cosg ó chridhe ar bhfeilghníomh d'fhás do ghnás deighríogh nimhe a-nuas. An t-Athair 's an Mac 's an ógh ní caraid nach glac ar ngaol; ionad 'n-a ngrianbhragh do-ghéabh ón Sbiorad thréan niamhghlan naomh. Cuirim, ós é a dheaghthráth dhúnn, sul thí ceartlá na sé slógh, a adhbha iomchuir an Ríogh, díon mh'anma ar th'ionchuibh, a ógh. Coire do-nínn gus a-niogh, a Rí as rí don uile fhior; dá dtí leam tadhall fad thal m'anam gabh tar ceann mo chean. Doar ndoibheart dún, don ríghtheagh go roiseam slán a ndíoghbhadh leam mar as lór an síodhbhun róm teann i dtám. Námha.
