Bardachd Ghaidhlig.
Is beag sgoinn de mhointich am monadh,
Is beag sgoinn de choille am fasach;
Is lugha meas tha de dhuine falamh
An uair tha earras an d&dh fhagail.
Is iomadh caraid tha aig fear saoibhear,
Tha daoine bochda gun phris;
Is gann a dh’aidicheas an cairdean
Gum buin iad daibh is iad bhith an dlth.
Is fearr a bhith bochd na bhith breugach,
Is fearr fheuchainn na bhith ’san duil;
Is fearr am fear a chostas beagan
Na am fear a theicheas ann an cuil.
Tha an fhirinn gu cliuiteach sona,
Cha chron air duine bhith fial;
Is fearr beagan anns an onoir
Na an donas is ceithir chiad.
Is ainmig a dh’eireas fortan
Le fear crosda bhios gun ch≪
Is fearr do dhuine fuireach samhach
Na droch dhan a chur an ceill.
Eiridh tonn air uisge balbh;
Gheibhear cearb air duine glic;
Eiridh gnothach le fear mall;
Bristidh am fear tha call gu trie.
Tha a ghaineamh fein anns gach sruthan;
Chan ’eil tuil air nach tig trkghadh;
Is dona an cairdeas gun a chumail
Is chan fhaighear duine gun fhaillinn.
