Aodh Ua Cobhthaidh an chroidhe ceirt, an t-ionmhuin fíor uasal ionnraic; ós críoch Írmhidhe ghluais an fear, an Gaedhul saothach, is an seanchadh. Os amharc, os coimhne (mairg mé!)— do dhearmod Éad[h]monn, an ghil-g[h]né croídh gan mheabhail an bard gan locht, bu Gaedhul 's budh ceart an cléireach. Fearghus fial, an liaigh gan locht, cráidhbheach diadha gan daorlot, Eóin ionmhuin os Iochtach Cuinn,— bhus cóir an caoimheach don c[h]robhuinn. Maolm[h]uaidh muirneach, saoi na searc, Aodh úr, annsacht na hannsacht; budh Connachtach an fear fial, a dhearmad measaim 'na mhídhriaghail.At the end of the above (after line 104) the following stanza is written in the MS. in a later and distinct hand: Seaán Ó Héidéin, car mo chuím, an scríbhneóir alga adhluinn; an Muimhneach mear, searc na saoí, Dia dá shaora go siorrdhuidh. Amen. Connellan made this stanza the concluding one of the poem. This Seaán Ó Héidéin, otherwise John Heyden, flourished in Dublin a few years later. The MS 23 D 21 (R.I.A.), consisting of a copy of an Irish Glossary compiled in 1706 by the Father 'Froinsias Ualis' alluded to above, was transcribed by 'Seadhan Ua Héidéin' in I739.
