1. 1] Ná bí dom buaidhreadh, a bhean,
   2] cuiream d'aontaoibh ar n-aigneadh,
   3] tú mo chéile i gClár na bhFionn,
   4] lámh tar a chéile cuiream.

p.25

2. 5] Cuir an béal ar snuadh na subh
   6] rem béal, a chneas mar chubhar;
   7] sín an ghéag chneasaolta chorr
   8] tar mhéad th'easaonta oram.
3. 9] Ná bí níos foide, a shéimh sheang,
   10] gan bheith tairise im thimcheall;
   11] leig id chuilt, a mhínsheang, mé,
   12] síneam ar gcuirp re chéile.
4. 13] Mar do thréigeas, a thaobh slim,
   14] ortsa gach aoinbhean d'Éirinn,
   15] a dhéineamh más éidir ann,
   16] tréigidh gach éinfhear oram.
5. 17] Mar do dháileas dod dhéad gheal
   18] an toil nách éidir d'áireamh,
   19] cóir a dháil damhsa mar so,
   20] bhar n-annsa, sa cháil chéadna.
