 A Shionann Chuinn Chéadchathaigh, deacair leanmhain do léimeann: nocha nfhaca h'éntsamhail leath a bhus do mhuir Éireann. A mhaighreach bhog bhairrleabhair, iomdha fiodh áluinn umad: mór an éagcóir t'ainmneaghadh ó dhuine d'fhearaibh Mumhan. Dúthcha dhuit bheith againne, dá bhféachtha dona fáthaibh: Gleann Gaibhle as é t'athairsi, an Bhréifne as í do mháthair. Mar mhusglas do mhór-bhuinne goirid bheag ó Shliabh Raisean, nochan ó Bhrian Bhóroimhe do budh cóir bheith dot bhaisdeadh. Dá ndearnta-sa orainne, ó do cuireadh thú a seilbh mbréige, do-bhéarmaois do chomhairle duit iompúdh dod thír féine. A bhuinne mhall mhín-iasgach fan hiomdha adhbha éarlamh, ó do-ní sealbh sír-iasacht, ní racha tú ar a ndéanamh. Do-ghéan-sa do chosnamh-sa le Diarmaid ar son dána, agus cosnaid Connachtaigh ris tú ar thoradh lámha. Más uime do iarradar tú ar bheith láimh ré Luimneach, do bhádhus a nIarmhumhain, 'snocha dearna dhíom Muimhneach. As leathtrom an t-ordachadh do shíol Bhriain bheith dár sreabhaibh, 'snach abraid síol cConchobhair gurab leó Laoi nó Leamhain. Dá madh le gach comharsain fonn gach fir oile, a Shionann, máseadh is do Chonnachtaibh leath amuigh dhíot, a Shionann. Muimhnigh má do-rinneadar sealbh dot bhuinne saor sriobhard, créd do-bheir ar Mhidheachaibh gan dol ad sheilbh, a Shionann? Ceisd iongnadh ort agoinde, a Chríosd thoicthigh gach ionam, nar cuireadh a n-aithearrach abhann romhad, a Shionann? Abair riom, a Ógh-Mhuire, chuirios bláth fiond ar fhiodhcholl, créd tug ar Bhrian Bóroimhe gan dol ad sheilbh a Shionann? Roinntear Éire fhóid-ghreanta le Fionntan, mar fuair Iollann, ataoi-si don chóigeadh-sa ó shoin anuas, a Shionann.
