Seacht n-ingheana 'gon umhla Seacht n-ingheana 'gon umhla seacht gcomhursain ciallumhla seacht muine iad a haonbhun siad 'n-a gcuire chomhghaolmhar. Rún ní hindéanaimh orra; sloinnfead a seacht n-anmonna, na seacht mbinnshreabha bunaidh tearc ingheana a n-ionnshamhail. Céidghin cloinne na humhla go gcreidear dá comhurdha; an fhoighide is í a hainm-se gloineide an chlí i gcleachdainn-se. An fhírinne óna hard cridhe ainm an dara hinghine mór luagh na fírinne d'fhior Luan na dílinne ón Dúiliomh. An treas inghean—cruaidh an chéim— an fhaoiside is í a hainm-séin; gan a labhra is coll creidimh; long na hanma an fhaoisidin. An ceathramhadh céim don chloinn an aoine as crádh don choloinn; gidh seang ón aoine an chlí chuil feall taoibhe hí don anmuin. An cúigeadh hinghean eile re n-abrar an aithrighe gach ni as aithshlighe don ulc is í an aithrighe a fhurtucht. An trócuire is sí an seiseadh —tearc mná mar an móirsheisear na sé mná umhla aile— is ullmha a-tá an trócaire. An déirc bheireas neach ar neamh is í so an seachtmhadh hinghean; feidhm diongbhála do Dhia hí is ria as ionrádha airdrí. Do áirmheamair gan easbhaidh anmanna na n-inghean-sain; tearc lá nach síolfuidhir sin seacht mná as fhíorchuibhidh d'áirimh. n umhlaoid nar fhaomh ceana ag sin na seacht n-ingheana; Dia dá gcomhthail go coimseach cia orthaibh as amhoirseach. Seacht maighdeana óna mó a shíol, seacht mná éintighe an airdríogh, seacht n-eachracha nimhe a-niogh, seathracha cridhe an Choimdheadh. Seacht mná lionas lios na bhfeadhbh, seacht mná fholmhuigheas Ifearn, seacht n-arthraighe na hanma, tearc banchuire as bhanamhla. Seacht dtobair na dtrí Muire, seacht róid na sé sochuidhe, seacht srotha ag teacht a talamh, seacht gclocha gan cumhsgughadh. Seacht gcathaoireacha céille, seacht bhfáidhe na fírfhéile, ceart soillse na seacht nimhe, seacht ndoirrse nach dúinfidhe. Seacht sceoil shaortha shíl Ádhaimh, seacht mbuimidhe an mhórchrábhaidh, tearc i n-a gcomhairle cion seacht gcomhairle an Choimdheadh. Seacht n-eitnidhe cnó gcorcra ingheana na humhlochta; an umhlacht 's a clann chaduigh is lubhghort crann gcomhabaidh. Ar chomairce na cloinne 's 'n-a humhla dar n-anmain-ne —mairg nach creideann don chloinn-se— go gcreideam don chrobhoing-se. Seacht gcaogada cath fam cheann tug Pádraig puirt na hÉireann; go raibh mé thall 'n-a threiseacht is é ann go n-airceiseacht. Seacht.
