Text captured by scanning. A fhir éadmhair 'gá mbí bean, éirigh fán gcioth fear-mar-chách; má tá tusa ar tí bheith réidh, ná tuig choidhche méin do mhná. Éigean di bheith do na mnáibh, gibé páis a ngeóbhaidh tríd; tá sí ar aimsir ag an ngrádh, ní haici féin a-tá sí. Ná creid do radharc do shúl, leath a dtuigfe tú ná tuig, ná gabh sgéal dearbhtha acht 'na bhréig, éisteacht do chluas féin ná cluin. Fulaing do spochadh go mín, ná cuir suim i ní fán ngréin; isí sin an chríonnacht deit, bheith it óinmhid leimh gan chéill. Ith biadh, is codail do sháith, 's ná fionnadh sí do pháis bhocht; beir an dá lathaigh do léim; ar mhéin na mná-soin séid sop. A fhir éadmhair ná féadan gan grá dhise, Séid sop ar mhéin do mhná limhe; Mara ndéanair an méid sin, ar ghrá h'inig Éirig tar gach aongheilt i mbárr mire!
