 A Cholmáin mhóir mheic Léinín, a bhinnegnaidh bhaisghléimhín, grádh dhuid as dú d'Íbh Dálaigh, tú ar gcuid dona Colmánaibh. Atá ann eochoir leasa, cuimhnigh an gcráoibh gcoibhneasa, ar léim ná léigsi a chara, dod fhréimh th'éigsi ar n-ealadha. Tú oide an fhileadh ó ttám, a érlaimh dan hainm Colmán, as comhrádh as canta amach Colmán dár dhalta Dálach. Ní bhíadh Dálach ris an dán, mona bheadh re a chois Colmán: dobadh léir é ar a oidiocht, sé in gach céim gá chomhaideacht. Gidh cúich adeir ná badh dleacht ní ar an ndán — dia do chléirceacht — ní ceard a n-aghaidh Dhé an dán, as é do chabhair Colmán. Colmán dá nar cóir neimhshearc, seal fada lé filidhiocht: nocha ría badh dáigh a dhol, monbadh áil lé Día a dhénamh. Ar Cholmán Chlúana hairde do cuireadh an chédchairde: tug ma cheann druim ris an dán, fearr an chuing ar ar claochládh. Do ghrádhaigh creidemh comhlán da bfuair ar nimh Naomhcholmán: 'na hiongnais fhúair a chabhair, tiomnais uaidh an ealadhain. Fáth ar gcairdis cuirthi a mbrígh lé Colmán mór mac Léinín: tiomna Colmáin ar a cheird tré diomdha an bhonnbháin bhéildeirg. Aigi do fháguibh an dán, bronndalta do bhí ag Colmán, an céidfhear ór slonnadh sinn, ollamh dárbh éigion uirrim. Dob é Dálach a dhalta, air do fhear a bheannachta: d'fírfhréimh a sheandalta ó shoin, beannachta an fhíréin oghnaidh. Maithi mhuinntire Dálaigh, a ttreisi atá a bfágbhálaibh: ar fhádaibh an domhnán duinn Colmán do fháguibh aguinn. Dob oirchios d'aicmi Dhálaigh, dá ttug éicsi n-édálaigh, dúana do dhérghadh dá ndán d'érlamh Clúana, do Cholmán. Mar do-radais dhúin ar ndán, a chomhachtaigh, a Cholmán, faghaibh cathair mar dhún nDé, dhúnn ar gcathaimh ar gcéidré. Féch oirn, a oide ar sinnsir, mon gcathraigh n-aird n-aoibhinnsin: gabh mé seach gach áon réd ais, ar gháol an té do thoghais. Ná raibh agád ar n-éra, guidhim thú go ttaisbéna do shíol do bhronndalta ar bháidh bríogh do chonganta, a Cholmáin. A Cholmáin.
