Gnáth ar ttosach ag teacht di fuaradh carad fa chéili. a bruth go ttabhuir a theas, guth 'na haghuidh ní háineas. Gidh eadh, ní turnamh toile fearg an aosa hionmhoine: 'na dheaghuidh as daingne a ngrádh, deadhuil chaingne na ccumpán. Ar bfearg anois dá nós sin re Máire inghean Még Uidhir: créd sin acht snadhmadh andsa? mo chin d'adhnadh m'iodhlannsa. Do báidheadh grís ar ngoimhe, táinig teas ar n-ionmhoine: d'éis ar ndíbheirge is teó ar ttoil, breó ar bhfírfheirge ros fuaraigh. Ar bhfearg mhór ní mór a suim, mairg do loitfeadh láimh eadruinn: budh roidheithnios gráidh ar ngoimh, táir ar gcoimheighthios cogoidh. Comhrádh leanb ar luaidheadh thrín, cluiche is gáire ar nglór eissídh, focal coirmdhighe thrá ar ttreas, ar lá oirbhire is áineas. Ní bheanfa aimhleas no olc ormsa inghean Con Connocht, gnúis charthonach gan chailg n-aor, ón marthonach mairg macaomh. A gnúis bhláith go mbriocht toile, cáruid cholpthadh sneachtoidhe, tuar maithmhighe a silleadh so, filleadh ainchridhe ionnto. Banfhlaith shíl gColla dá Chrích, turnadh cáich re hucht n-eisíth, dreach édána is uille bladh, buime ar n-égcára d'iomchar. Cara agus eascara.
