Ghlac Rlgh Seumus air laimh sibh ;
S dh' iarr a Bhan-riogh a 'steach sibh ;
Cha robh Gall 's cho robh Gaidheal,
'N seomar clàraidh no 'n caisteal
Nach do sheas àir a chausair,
Aig meud an geall air 'ur faicinn.
'N sin nuair chunncas na h-àrmuinn,
Agus iadsan na 'n còidse,
'S nach d' iarr iad a dheise ;
Ach breacan a's còta
Sgiath bhreac na !m ball iomad,
Air an slinnein gu còmhruig
Sin nuair labhair gach duine,
Gu'n robh a chulaidh ud neonach.
C' ait' an robh iad sa n t saoghal
Na 'n taobh so do thlaitheas;
Mac samhailt na 'n daoine,
Cha 'n f haodar ani faighinn ;
Mach o ghathan na greine,
Ann an speiribh an adhair ;
'S nach iarradli-mid air son sgàthan,
Ach cead bhi n àite ga 'namharc.
'S thuirtgach Moir-fhear a b'airde,
Gu'n robh taite's tigh lagha j
Co a dhìobradh gu brath thu
'S gun ghrain bhi air t-aghaidh,
Ach an teacaire dàna
Bha gabhail tàmh sa cheann-adhairt,
Lh' fhag sinne mur tha sinn,
'8 nach rcbh a dh' àgh oirn do ghleitheadh.
'S car' a dh' larla na 'm pìos thu,
Bh' annan an Ile ga'nstròiceadh,
