TETHBA

1. Dorat Tethba don tír thúaid,
   ná bad sechna dia sár-búaid,
   a comainm clethach, rochar
   ingen Echach Aireman,
2. Dia luid la Noísin anall,
   la mac Nechtain find-gúalann,
   Tethba, rothuille cach tech,
   is a muimme mór-Eitech.
3. Eitech, ingen Lennglais Lúain
   roscar fri dend-mais n-drech-búain:
   áit i ragaib duibe a drech,
   ba h-é a cend uide Eitech.
4. Marait a n-anmann dia n-éis,
   conas-fhagbam fria n-aisnéis,
   na m-ban co m-bríg is co m-blat:
   rotag cách tír dia tarat. Dorat.
