A fhir ghlacas a ghalldacht

Laoisioch Mac an Bhaird cct.

 A fhir ghlacas a ghalldacht, bhearras an barr bachalldocht, seang-ghlac atú do thogha, ní tú deagh-mhac Donnchadha. Ní thréicfea, da madh tú soin, do ghruag ar ghalldacht thacair— maisi as fhearr fá fhíadh bhFódla— 'sní bhíadh do cheann corónda. Ní modh leatsa an barr buidhe; fuath leision na locuidhe, is bheith maol ar ghrés na nGall— bhar mbés ar-aon ní hionann. Fear nár ghrádhaigh an ghalldacht Eóghan Bán, searc saor-bhanntracht, don ghalldacht ní thug a thoil, an alltacht rug do roghain. Ní bhean th'aigneadh d'Eóghan Bhán, do-bhéradh brísdi ar bhegán, fear nár iarr do chlóca acht ceirt, lé nár mian cóta is coisbeirt. Fuath leis ar chaol a choisi mionn sbuir ar bhróig bhuataisi, nó sdocaidhe ar sdair na nGall; locaidhe air ní fhágbhann. Ráipér maol nach muirfeadh cuil, ní maisi lé mac Donnchaidh meadh meanaidh thiar ar a thóin, ag triall go tealaigh thionóil. Beg a brígh a mbrat órdha, ná a mbanna ard sholónda nó a bhfail óir far ghabhtha ghoimh, nó a sgarfa sróill go sálaibh. Dúil a leaba chlúimh ní chuir, annsa leis luighi ar luachair; teach garbh-shlat ná táille tuir, sáimhe lé dagh-mhac Donnchaidh. Bró mharc-shluagh ar bhrú mbeirne, troid gharbh, comhlann ceitheirne, cuid do mhianuibh meic Donnchaidh, 's gleic d'iarraidh ar allmhurchaibh. Ní hionann is Eóghan Bán gáirit 'mad chois ar chlochán truagh nach bfacas libh bhar locht, a fhir ghlacas an ghalldacht.
