^A^ BÁS AGUS AN TSlORRAlOCHT,
118. Is bréag adubhairt an chliar
nár bh'ionmhain le Dia an ghoid,
's gurb aige féin atá an Bás,
an gadaidhe is feárr ar bith.
119. Gibé agaibh is sia saoghal
isé an t-éan agus é i sás ;
ná maoidheadh sé a aga uainne,
ní fada ón té is buaine an bás.
120. Ní tualaing neach mo mharbhadh,
gé do gheóbhadh mé im aonar ;
ní mó is tualaing m' anacal
ón ló thiocfas mo shaoghal.
Cohimcille."
121. Ca ní is ro-bhuaine ná cré ?
ca ní is diombuaine ná í ?
gach ní dá mbeantar don chré,
mar caittear, is cré do-ní.
122. ^sé is bás dáríribh ann,
tréigean Dé, dul i n-iofrann ;
beag cás toiglie acht an teacii-sain
bás oile ní huireasbaidh.
