FEARGHAL ÓG MAC AN BHAIRD cct.

 Ní rí fíre acht flaith nimhe, rí fíre flaith na cruinne; do bhí ar neamh fan lia lighe fear fine, Dia agus duine. Ar chléith dhoinnbhear dia hAoine do coinnmheadh Dia dar ndín-ne; daor do bhraith an raon róin-ne laogh na hóighe, an flaith fíre. Rí fíre an fear nar chronuigh cneadh na cíche dar gcabhair; a chóir is é ar n-a oighidh oidhir Dé tóir a tabhaigh. Tar a thal tiad a dhaoine níor mhiadh le mac na hóighe dá chíos ní um chneidh na cíghe rí fíre, gein na glóire. Tug malairt do Mhac Moire slat do agair ar aoi a dhéire mar dhlighe caoi cridhe déine, a dhuine. A Pheadair, déaghaidh dhúin-ne, déanaidh, a easbail fhíre, guidhe ar mo chrú le chéile; tú féine id dhuine dhínn-ne. Ní.
