60 Bàrdachd Ghàidhlig.
Bha i croidhfhioun, 's bha i bòtach; a^^W- -^J^-^^
Bha geal mòr air barr a breamain. t^/f/i*^^^
An uair theid mi shealltaiun nan caorach,
1600 lonndraichidh mi a' chaora cheannfhionu.
Is misde mi guu d'rinn i m'fhàgail,
Is b'fheàirrde mi am fad 's a dh'fhan i.
Cha do leig i riamh an fhàilinn
Ann am fhàrdaich 'u fhad 's a mhair i.
1605 An uair a rachainn chum na h-àirigh
Chuireadh i na tràitheau tharum. ^*^
Is ro mhath thogadh i na pràisdean :
Bhiodh iad sàthach 'n uair bu mhath leam.
Is mise bha air bheagan saothrach
1610 Am fad 's a bha mo ehaora maireann.
O'n a thàinig ceann a saoghail,
Is eigiun domh bhith daor 's a' cheannachd.
Gu ma slàn do'n chjita chaorach, '* •' ' •
As an tàin' a' chaora cheannfhionn.
1615 Is an tè o'n d'fhuair mi i an toiseach,
Is ro mhaith choisinn i mo bheannachd.
Beannachd leis an rud a dh'fhalbhas
Chan e as fhearr dhuinn ach na dh'flianas.
Is fhearr bhith cridheil leis na dh'fhuiricheas,
1620 Na bhith tuirseach mu na chailleas.
