 Slán fat fholcadh a Fhionnghuala réidh roicheolchar; th'fholt idir é ní fhidir mé nach moitheochthar. Slán fat fholcadh 's fa fhighe th'fhuilt fhiarchlaidhigh sé is th'óige ort is móide ar an fholt mh'fhiafraighidh. Slán fa dhíorghadh do dhíshleachta shlim shlaitleabhair, a mhall mhilis, a bharr 'n-a thrilis taitneamhail. Slán fa chíoradh do chúil as caomh re a shíorfhaicsin; gurab soraidh gurab cobhuidh don chíoraidh-sin. Ar gcíoradh th'fhuilt usuide dhamh a dheaghmholadh gach clann chleachtach id bharr leabthach ag leabhroghadh. Gach uair fhoilce th'earla bhíos ag breith ailtbhisigh mar ghrein ngairthe do néimh a haithle an fhailcei-sin. Cros Críosd thorad tearc th'aithghin ar bioth barrbhuidhe; ná rabh tres an bhfolt bhfionnbhuidhe ort amhghoire. Aigmhéil dá bharr béim súl ar chách re a chladhfhaicsin; tú as caoimhe i gcurp naoidhe fan fhult an aghaidh-sin. An aghaidh óg fan fholt bhíos 'n-a bharr dhronglánach bíd is beid dí go deaghshnuadhach 's sí soghrádhach. Soghrádhach thú ós do thír lisleabhair longclannaigh; a chnú ar gcraoibhe 's tú bhus caoimhe do-chonncamair. Gér chaomh ar dtús thú re figheadh th'fhuilt fhionnbhuadha tug luach eich ort do bheith fa fholt, a Fhionnghuala. Áluinn fan fholt th'aghaidh chorcra mar chéadshaimhghréin th'fholt mar fhalaigh ag tocht tar th'aghaidh n-éadainréidh. Réidh an t-éadan ar aghaidh th'fhuilt troim thaithneamhaigh na gcleathrámh gcraobh ós an ngealchlár gcaomh gcailceamhail. Mailghe caola ós chionn do cheathra gcraobhfhabhra aonsduaim orra dá chaolsduaidh dhonna dhaolamhla. Tearc san chruinne comhchaomh do rosg mall mongdhathta; géagcruinn gruaidhe dá réatlainn uaine ogradhta. Gruaidhe donna dá ndéantar dán saor sreathmholta leaca as saor snuadh le taobh do dá ghruadh ngealchorcra. Béal dearg tana tug dhuit Dia—déana a altoghadh— a chrann cubhra, a bharr mar ubhla ar n-abghughadh. Deirge iná subh snuadh do leacan re a lánfhaicsin do bhráighe bhláith i mbáine bhláith don bhrághaid-sin. Cíghe troma ós do thaobh tárraidh mochbhuadha; ní fhuil fa ucht a-muigh ar curp a gcomhchuanna. Ucht mar eala agad, a chall glan gealchoilleach; slios caomh cladhach do thaobh mar chanach gCreamhchoilleach. Braine mar bhláth do bharr mar ór, crodh caomhuingeach; folt clúmhraon gcam ort, a ghlúnmhaol mhall mhaoluilleach. Cuanna caomha do dá cholbtha, a chraobh ghealthoirtheach; beaga bhláthbhuinn 's iad seada sálchruinn seangthroightheach. Milis do ghlór a ghéag mhall Mhoighe Finnei-sin Téighid sginge do sgarlóid chorcra chorrtharaigh th'ucht slimgheal saor, a inghean chaomh Í Chonchobhair. Do néimh th'aighthe do áilnigh th'fholt cas claonbhuidhe fionnNuadha Fáil a Fhionnghuala Chláir Caonruighe. Nuadha Fionn Fáil fuair a cruth ríoghdha ronua-san ó Nuadha a-nuas ní chuala cluas a chomhuasal. Ríoghradh Éireann umut earla mar ghléidheaghór go Conn na gcuan is an drong uadh go hÉireamhón. Níor fhás achd rígh is ríoghna 'mod rosg ndeaghshádhal callros fa chnuas ó Mhaghnus suas go seanÁdhamh. Cia do righeadh riot, a ríoghan nach rosggruamdha, cia ad-chluin nó ad-chí go bfuil i gclí do chomhsduamdha? Comhsduamdha ód láimh, a lacha áluinn aoigheadhach, gach béas banda eidir ghréas Ghallda is Ghaoidhealach. Id bhruidhin bhric bídh re béalaibh bhan lámhdhaidhe fíon fuar finngheal ód chuan, a inghean Árlaidhe. A Fhionnghuala, a ucht mar bhláth saor subhlosa, a inghean ghlan mhall Mhaghnusa, a chrann cumhra-sa. Biaidh red reimhis, a ríoghan Chruachna coillghile —mar do bhaoi—bean gan mhnaoi gan fhear 'ga hoirbhire. Gnáth as dual dhuid —is a dhéanamh ar dhánmholadh— gan bheirt ar bhoin gan fheirc ar ghroigh do ghrándoghadh. Dual ót athair a Fhionnghuala, a fholt maoithghleannach, bheith ag díol dámh, an fíon 's an dán do dhaoircheannach. Dual dod bhais bhláith bheith don aos dána ag druineachas ceird cridhe ar crioth gach file ar bioth dod bhuidheachas.

Dual duit gach magh 's gach móin go dtolchaibh tiormruadha lán dod lachtchrodh; slán fat fhalcadh, a Fhionnghuala. Slán.
