Seanfhocail affus Comhadan
Na bi ealamh air trcda
Is na bi toileacb ;air tuasaid;
Acb ma’s toigh leat do leanabh
Na bi leisg air a bhualadh.
Bi an comhnuidb air taobb na siothchaint
Is na bi diochaisg air bbeag aobhair;
Is fearr dhuit amadan a bhreugadh
Na dol g’a fheuchainn an caonnaig.
Na bi talach air do chuibbrinn
Ged a robb i baileach sombail,
Is fearr greim tioraan le siotbcbaint
Na tigb lan iobairt le coimbstri.
Dol a stri ri rud gun choslas,
Cha’n ’eil ann ach gnotbaeb faoin;
Cba tig feur troimb na clccban,
Is cha tig folt troimh chloigeann aosd’.
Tha e cruaidb air duine lag
Dol ri brutbacb cas ’na stand;
Tba e tearc am measg an t-sluaigh
An neach sin a gheibh buaidh air fhein.
Na bi ag cur na cionta air cacb,
Ma tha an fhaillinn agad fhein;
Is duilich neach a rib’ an slaod
Is ceann an taoid aige fhein.
Neach tha gu math is coir dha fuireach
Gun bhith stri ri rud nach iomchuidh;
Is trie bba call an deidh an turuis,
Ach ’s buidhe le amadan imrich.
