'S gu 'n do fhuasgladh fa dheireadh,
Ach 's i bu choireach a' mhisg.
Caraid.
Mo ghaol an cleasaiche lùthmhor,
Fear gun cheasad gun chùmhnadh ;
Fear gun cheiltinn air cùineadh,
'N am bhi dlùthachadh ris;
Bheireadh dachd as a mhuigean ;
Dheanadh gealtair de 'n diiidhlach ;
Dheanadh dan' am fear diiiid
Chum a chilis a dhol leis.
Fear a's feàrr an taigh-osd thu ;
Fear a's iir-fhailtich òrain ;
Fear nach fuihngear 'na ònar,
Ach am bòilich 's an 'driop :
Fear tha mànranach ceòhiihor ;
Cridheil càirdeach le pògan ;
'S a làmh dheas air a phòca,
Sgapadh stòrais le misg.
Nam HMD.
A chinn aobhar a' chonais,
'S trie a dh' fhaobhaich* na sporain :
Fhir nach d' fhoghlum an onair,
B' e bhi 'g a' d' mholadh a' bhleid
Dh' faohhaich ; Spoiled. Stealing the milk out of the udder of j
cow is called Faobh-bhleoghainn.
'S gu 'n do fhuasgladh fa dheireadh,
Ach 's i bu choireach a' mhisg.
