Muireadhach Albanach cct.

 M'anam do sgar riomsa a-raoir, calann ghlan dob ionnsa i n-uaigh; rugadh bruinne maordha mín is aonbhla lín uime uainn. Do tógbhadh sgath aobhdha fhionn a-mach ar an bhfaongha bhfann: laogh mo chridhise do chrom, craobh throm an tighise thall. M'aonar a-nocht damhsa, a Dhé, olc an saoghal camsa ad-chí; dob álainn trom an taoibh naoi do bhaoi sonn a-raoir, a Rí. Truagh leam an leabasa thiar, mo pheall seadasa dhá snámh; tárramair corp seada saor is folt claon, a leaba, id lár. Do bhí duine go ndreich moill ina luighe ar leith mo phill; gan bharamhail acht bláth cuill don sgáth duinn bhanamhail bhinn. Maol Mheadha na malach ndonn mo dhabhach mheadha a-raon rom; mo chridhe an sgáth do sgar riom, bláth mhionn arna car do chrom. Táinig an chlí as ar gcuing, agus dí ráinig mar roinn: corp idir dá aisil inn ar dtocht don fhinn mhaisigh mhoill. Leath mo throigheadh, leath mo thaobh, a dreach mar an droighean bán, níor dhísle neach dhí ní dhún, leath mo shúl í, leath mo lámh. Leath mo chuirp an choinneal naoi; 's guirt riom do roinneadh, a Rí; agá labhra is meirtneach mé— dob é ceirtleath m'anma í. Mo chéadghrádh a dearc mhall mhór, déadbhán agus cam a cliabh: nochar bhean a colann caomh ná a taobh ré fear romham riamh. Fiche bliadhna inne ar-aon, fá binne gach bliadhna ar nglór, go rug éinleanabh déag dhún, an ghéag úr mhéirleabhar mhór. Gé tú, nocha n-oilim ann, ó do thoirinn ar gcnú chorr; ar sgaradh dár roghrádh rom, falamh lom an domhnán donn. Ón ló do sáidheadh cleath corr im theach nochar ráidheadh rum— ní thug aoighe d'ortha ann dá barr naoidhe dhorcha dhunn. A dhaoine, ná coisgidh damh; faoidhe ré cloistin ní col; táinig luinnchreach lom 'nar dteagh— an bhruithneach gheal donn ar ndol. Is é rug uan í 'na ghrúg, Rí na sluagh is Rí na ród; beag an cion do chúl na ngéag a héag ó a fior go húr óg. Ionmhain lámh bhog do bhí sonn, a Rí na gclog is na gceall: ach! an lámh nachar logh mionn, crádh liom gan a cor fám cheann.
