dh'orain thaghta ghaidhealach. 231
'Nuair bu mhiann leò dol dliacliaidh,
'S e thachras ni a 's mios';
Gur e 'n ceann a 's treas cas dhoibh:
Lomlan mheall, agus chrappa;
G'uch aon bhall gu'm bi aca,
Gaid a neart uath' gun f hios ;
lad na 'n tafFaing gun toinisg ;
lad a labhairt an donuis :
lad ro lamhach go conus,
'S nach urr' iad cuir leis;
Bithi an aodain ga 'n sgrobadh,
Bi dh an aodach 'n a stròicibh;
Cha 'n f haod iad bhi stolda,
'S iad an comhnai air mhisg.
Nach boidheach an spors,
Bhi suidhe ma bhordadh,
Le cuideachda chòir,
Bhi o's an toir air an dibh !
Bi'dh mo bhottul air sgòrnan,
Ri toirt coip air mo stopan ;
Nach toirteil an ceol leam 3
An cronan, 's an gliogl
Gu'm bi fear air an daoraich :
Gu'm bi fear dhiu ri baoireadh;
Gu'm bi fear dhiu caoineadh;
Nach beag a shaoileadh tu sud?
Ni e fosgailt' fear dionach;
Ni e crosta fear ciallach ;
Ni e tostach fear briarach,
Ach am blialum nach tuig.
