DONNCHADH MÓR Ó DÁLAIGH cct.

 Ort do sheiseacht, a shaoghail, a sgian tana thollfhaobhair; a ghille 's a lúb 'n-a láimh, ag súd inn-ne dot fhágbháil. Mithid damh céim seachad sair, a sheanóir dhoill, a dhomhain; do budh turchar dhamh, a dhuill, urchar do chur lem choluinn. Do budh codladh ar chlúimh thé gan iompódh riot a-ríse; uch, a thruagh, más eadh as áil seal uabh agus gan t'fhágbháil. Seal 'san slighe dhíomhaoin damh, seal 'san saoghal dom shalchadh, seal san lathaigh, loighe an doill, athaidh oile san abhoinn. Ruaig agam d'iarraidh nimhe, ruaig i measg mo mhuinntire— tuig trá nach deighcridhe dhamh an dá eitrighe d'adhradh. Siridh féin aireamh eile, a shaoghail, d'ar t'eitrighe; beir, a shaoghail, t'aghaidh uaim, a shalaigh dhaolaigh dhiombuain. A sheanóir thuisleadhaigh thruim, mallacht ort gach fhir chumuinn; go bhfagha shár it sheise, a chlár tana taipleise. Gé taoi ar mo thí, a thruagháin thruaigh, duit do chumas do chéadduain; mór an ceannach deaghóir dhamh seanóir meangach do mholadh. Is tú an giolla fionn fallsa, riot do-chuaidh an cholann-sa; ní tú, a dhalláin a dhomhain, an chnú fhalláin fhoghamhair. Is tú an tsadh mheabhlach mheangach, is tú an bheithir bhéimeannach, tú an aithir sheang, a sheise, is ceann aithigh uirrei-se. Do chuiris díot a-dearair cúig dhíne do dhíneadhaibh; ní fhuil tú acht id chuaille chuir ar bhrú na huaighe, a ánruidh. A ánruidh thruaigh, tomhais dúin gá fuil do-chuaidh fad chéadúir; sloinn go fíor, a bhréagaigh bhrais, gá céadfhuil ríogh do fhromhais. Fuil Aibéil mheic Ádhaimh fhinn dí do chorcrais do chéidrinn; a bhrais bhréagaigh, is sí sain céadfhuil do bhí ar do bhéalaibh. Fuil Críosd do-chuaidh fad bhruinne, móide t'imshníomh oruinn-ne; ceann fat iris níor dhluigh dhamh ó do ibhis fhuil t'athar. Do bhrathais Dái-bhí na ndámh 's do fheallais ar Ab-rahám; tugadh ceann Eoin dá éis sain 'n-a fheoil ar mhéis dod mhiasaibh. Do chrochais is a cheann síos Peadar apsdal na n-óirchíos; ar ndíoth Peadair agus Póil eagail do shioth, a sheanóir. Ní dhearna cumann riot riamh ó do fheallais ar Aibial neach nar chuiris féine i bhfód acht madh Éile agus Eanóg. Tárras ort-sa eacht oile do chealga 's do chorroighe; ar do mhuin—níor bhúireadh binn— do chuir an Dúileamh dílinn. Bliadhain dí—agus níor dhoib- heart— ar do mhuin ag marcoigheacht; ní fhuair díon, ní thárraidh trácht, do shíol Ádhaimh acht aonbhárc. Tiocfa bráth ainmhín oile dod bháthadh-sa, a bhréagoire; ní bhia beatha eile ann acht ceatha is teine is torann. Báidhfidhear tú do thonnaibh mar bháidhthear ceap críonchonnaidh; do leagadh a-dir gach dream ar sin ní fheadar th'inneall. Ón ló loisgfidhear do lár agus ghéisfeas do ghormchlár agus bhearrfas muir do mhong do sheanchas ní fhuil agam. Ag súd inne ag imtheacht uaid i reilig na gcrann gcaolfhuaid; beag do threiseacht tocht tar muir ort do sheiseacht, a shaoghail. Ort.
