Giolla Brighde Ó Heoghusa cct.

 Deacair suan ar chneidh gcarad: gar d'airdheanaibh easgarad an t-aos comtha nach geabh gráin re horchra gcneadh a gcompáin. Gidh bé uaibh do fhéadfadh soin codladh ar chneadh a chomthaigh d'aos chomtha ní croidhe glan gan orchra ar-oile d'iomchar. Aos comtha an chumainn dearbhtha, coitcheann cúis a mbuaidheartha, ionann orchra, ionann ceas ortha agus ionann áineas. Mar sin damhsa, diochra an léan, fat' orchra a inghean Uáitéar neimh na cneidhe rod chreimse 'na cneidh eile ar m'intinnse. Bíth h'osnadh do dhruim dheacra ag clódh chéadfadh mh'éisdeachta; bíth do dheór, a chnú chridhe, ag deól chrú as ar gcridhine. Dá gcoisginn cion mo thuirse sunna dhíot dod dhoghuilse, ar ndoigh ní budh dimbríogh linn, ná a bhfoil d'imshníomh ar mh'intinn. Ní fhuil, tar a n-abraim ribh, do chumha mar chúis t'imnidh; adhbhal truime do thuirse, uille a hadhbhar agaibhse. Rugadh uaid, dia do dhoghra, do mhac, oighre th'athardha, do chosg bróin, th'aondalta ar n-éag, do ghlóir shaoghalta, a Shinéad. Oighre Sgríne na sgoth nglas, brath Dealbhna na ndionn solas glún uaislighthe an fhine ó bhfuil, cridhe an ghuaisbheithre i ngalaibh. Bláth ógán Innse na bhFionn, foithne Rois, Risdeard Nuinnsionn, draig roighreanta, beithir borb, feithimh móirshleachta Marbhord. Saor an sgoth do sgar ruibhse, ní hiongnadh t'fháth doghuilse: ba triall raith, ba gaoth i ngal, ba laoch, ba flaith, ba feallsamh. Níor chlannaigh fa choim na neamh ní nach fuair fios a airrdhean, re hais gcearcaill na cruinne, ná a seantruim thais talmhaidhe. Do thiomchuil, turas bladhach, ciorcla na gcorp n-uachtarach, an dá pholas tuaidh is teas, a bhforas fhuair gan aincheas. Gidh eadh trá, dá dhoilghe dhuit, má taoi ar an tí ros tiodhluic, a ndeaghaidh na dtairtheadh tug, dleaghair a aithbhear orad. Dia athar —ga huaisle ceard? dó féin do-rinne Risdeard: ní huaibhse rug an nglaic ngloin, is ní dait tug ó thosoigh. Dorus beathadh bás an fhir, ní cúis imshníomha a oighidh: cia an neach a gcás budh cuirthe, dá ndeach le bás mbeannaighthe? Glan budh-easd th'aghaidh dtuirsigh, tiormaigh do ghruaidh ngrianluisnigh, an doigh do-chuaidh ad chridhe, ad-roigh uaibh ar mh'impidhe.
