Text captured by scanning. Mairg darab galar an grádh gibé fáth fá n-abraim é; is deacair sgarthain re a pháirt; truagh an cás a bhfuilim féin. An grádh-soin tugas gan fhios, ós é mo leas gan a luadh, muna fhaghad furtacht tráth, biaidh mo bhláth go tana truagh. An fear-soin dá dtugas grádh, 's nách féadaim a rádh ós aird, dá gcuire sé mise i bpéin, go madh dó féin bhus céad mairg!
