Lochlainn Óg Ó Dálaigh cct.

 Léigidh dhamh mo Dhomhnall féin, a éigse Innse saoirNéill, sul do-cluintir ós aird inn in gach aird uichtghil d'Éirinn. Siobhlach oirbh as gach ionadh, ag teacht orm dá uaisleaghadh, an choimhlingse nár aniogh, a dhámh ghoirminnse Gaoidheal. In bhar dtíribh féin feasta anaidh, ní hiúl éigcneasta, nós na nGallsa ós éigean ann, léigear dhamhsa mo Dhomhnall. Mithigh dhúin, seachnaidh sinne, nó bíom coimhdheas cointinne: fám chuid don Bhrianfhuil a-bháin, ná hiarraidh truid ná teangmháil. Nach diongnainn a dhíol molaidh, don dáimh doirbh an bharamhail; ní díol aor d'aoinneach amháin an saor, an daoineach dreachnáir. Breath dlighidh gnáthchúirte Gall ní bheanfaidh díomsa Domhnall; fada atá sin 'nar seilbhne, rém lá ribh ní roinnfimne. Ní thiobhrainn do chléir cheannaigh mo chliath fhosgaidh fhuairearraigh - ní gar fáth frithbhéime dhó - mo sgáth sithghréine i samhló. Fám gheall táille i dtigh n-óla leam ní fhuiltí ionchóra, a dhream dán doibheanta dhamh, fám gheall oireachta is éarlamh. Mo chuan téigle i dtaoibh tráchta, mo dheór aille fhionnMhárta, m'fhearann saor, mo choimhéad cruidh - ní foighéag mo chraobh chnuasaigh. Oram a chliar, ná cuinghidh mo bhreac sruithgheal saorLuimnigh: mealltair lé sgéal gach sgoile m'éan a seabhcaibh Síodhoire. A ró oinigh ar n-agra, leór d'éigsibh dá ionnarba; fáth sgís ar n-eolaisne uaidh, mo ghrís beoluisne bhiothbhuain. Coill gríbhe na ngleodh nimhe, nó slad nathrach neimhnighe, toidheacht don iathsa gan fhios, d'oireacht d'iarsma na n-éigeas. Toisg an ainmhidhe allta téid san leabaidh leoghanta~ - beart robhaoise nach réidh d'fhior - béin fám fhoraoise d'éigean. Cuairt fhaolchon d'fhoghail tréada láimh ré lucht a gcoimhéada bhar dtoisg, a chliar, tar Chloinn dTáil, ag triall fá choill mo chompáin. Lámh i n-aghaidh airmreann n-áith, nó argain beach brugh bhfionnbhláith, cur im cheann fám chéidfhear ngráidh, a dhream dárbh éigean mh'éadáil. A ndiúltadh níorbh eól uaidhe -~ tig an t-éigeas aonuaire 's an gnáithfhile doirbh 'na dhiaidh, tar bhláithfhine soirbh saoirBhriain. Dul i seilbh chosanta a chruidh ar éigsibh Innse Cobhthaigh, flaith úr nach séadarsaidh soin, éagcosmhail dún a dhéanaimh. An troidse do-ním aniogh lé gach druing don fhóir fhileadh, troid bathlaigh lé buidhnibh sluaigh, a shuilbhir athlaimh armruaidh. An tan nach tabhair tú féin congnamh damh fán dáimh d'aimhréir, an riamh fád chlú nár chumhgaigh; ní ciall tú do theasargain. Bheith dá laoidhibh i leabhraibh i ndiaidh mheic mheic Toirdhealbhaigh, buaine leam ná cogail chruidh mar gheall don bhogfhuil Bhrianaigh.
