Mairg adeir olc ris na mnáibh! bheith dá n-éagnach ní dáil chruinn, a bhfuaradar do ghuth riamh dom aithne ní hiad do thuill. Binn a mbriathra, gasta a nglór, aicme rerab mór mo bháidh; a gcáineadh is mairg nár loc; mairg adeir olc ris na mnáibh. Ní dhéanaid fionghal ná feall, ná ní ar a mbeith grainc ná gráin; ní sháraighid cill ná clog; mairg adeir olc ris na mnáibh. Ní tháinig riamh acht ó mhnaoi easbag ná rí (dearbhtha an dáil), ná priomhfháidh ar nách biadh locht; mairg adeir olc ris na mnáibh. Agá gcroidhe bhíos a ngeall; ionmhain leó duine seang slán,— fada go ngeabhdaois a chol; mairg adeir olc ris na mnáibh. Duine arsaidh leathan liath ní hé a mian dul 'na dháil; annsa leó an buinneán óg bocht; mairg adeir olc ris na mnáibh!
