An Muireadhach cédna

 Tabhrum an Cháisg ar Chathal, a hucht Íosa an Ardathar: a mheic, cuimhnigh ar gcaingne, dheit Éisd, a rí súlghorm Sionna, inni agus dá éinghiolla— nach truagh ar gcaingni a ceathair— ag faighdhi ar na fuineachaibh. An ceathror crosda ar gach ndruing, gan lón énduine aguinn: maith an choimhdhe dár gcabhair, an Coimdhe is Ó Conchobhair. Gluaisdior linn d'iarraidh fhaighdhi go ceann foltchas fionnAidhne: dá n-éra ceann Aidhne inn, nocha mbem d'fhaighdhi a nÉirinn. Ar gcaingni ré a chéibh ndruimnigh, lór éinbhél dá athchuinnghidh: giodh eadh nocha seichébh soin gan mo leithén um leanmhoin. Lór linn ón rosgmhall reabhach an bhreath do bhaisd Muireadhach: ní ag iarraidh tuillidh atám acht ar chuinnigh mo chumpán. Lámh dhuid ar dhath an tsneachta, a ghnúis ríoghdha ruithionta: an dara lámh go dearg dhuid, mo ghrádh don Cheard ros cumaid. Suaithnidh éirghios a fhearg, Ó Conchobhair an Croibhdhearg: donnlámh is geallámh fa gha ag leannán bonnbhán Banbha. As amhlaidh rugadh flaith Fáil 's a sgríbhionn lais 'na leathláimh: branán fearchonta Chláir Chuinn, láimh ghealchorcra as a ghualoinn. Lámhach a láimhe deisi, ní hurusa a innisi: deargthair cláir ochta d'fhoghuibh do láimh chorcra Uí Chonchobhair. Cuiridh sgiath ar sgáth a chnis risna gáibh nach ttéid thairis: fuaighfidh risna gáibh géra an láimh shuaithnidh shoisgéla. Mór soighiod go seanglúib nglain do tharruing bas chorr Chathuil; fagha chas tachair do theilg bas tana Chathail Chroibhdheirg. Maith ar each, ní holc dá chois lámhach Cathail Dhúin Durlais gabhaidh ó Cuinn chleith fá sheól eidir dhruim eich is aieór. Maith sén tugadh go Teamhraigh rí Muaidhe, mac Toirrdhealbhaigh: nocha sill buachail ar bhoin re linn uí Thuathail Teachtmhuir. Suairc an taidhbhsi tárfas damh aréir do chathuibh Cruachan, a dhul amach san Midhe, gach clach 'na tur theinntidhe. Crithre teineadh tárfas damh d'fhaicsin ar fhud a margadh: as í an chrithre, as breath bhunaidh, sirthi creach Uí Chonchobhair. Do-chiú glastonn mara mir amuigh ag toidhiocht tairrsibh: as í an ghlastonn mhear mhara an geal basdonn béltana. As é an Croibhdhearg chuirfios soir na Gulla do ghabh Theamhraigh: an duine ní diombáidh linn 'ga ttiomáin uile a hÉirinn. Do-bheir thír gan bhrat gan bhoin an geal donn, ó Duach Galaigh: do-bheir cuach a dabhaigh dheirg ó Duach Galaigh don Ghaoidheilg. Do-bheirid gotha a ghaghar rí Éireann go hamhlabhar: gaghar ar chuan go gcluinionn ní faghar uadh urfhuighioll. Do-bheirid beanna uaine teas a ngnúis uí ghealGhuaire: maith an sódh seinleanna sin geilbheanna Ionar corcra mar chaoir nduinn matal sgarlóid, sgiamh ndíoghainn, is léini chaol mar chailc ngil fá dhá thaobh uí Airt Aoinfhir. Diobhruigis sgoth a sgingi uaidh ag imirt fhithchille: cúl réidhshleamhain tais do theilg dá bhais mhéirleabhair mhíndeirg. Súil chochlach uaine aga, dó bhais mhíne mhérfhada, is bonn tana saor sleamhain, mala chaol donn druimleabhair. Minic luaittear a leabhraibh oidhre taoibhgheal Toirrdhealbhaigh: cúl fiar is fleasga 'na bharr— trian a theasda ní thabhram.
