AODH BUIDHE MAC CRUITIN RO CHAN
Ar phosadh Isibeal, inion Chriostora Ui Bhriain,
Innis-tigh-moinn [Inis Diomain] le Samhairle mhic Domhnaill, O
Aontruim. A.D. 1712.
A gheis ghartha ghleigiol, a bheith mhaireach
bheasach,
A chraobh chneasta cheimleas do mhaithibh shiol Tail,
A aon lasair sceimhe na n-aolbhan le cheile,
A bheal tana an deidghil na labhartha samh!
Is trean teacht do treighthe le feidhim mhaith
na feile,
'S t-aol-chrobh le daonacht, is tabharthach tasg,
Do'n taistiolach treithlag, do'n aimid gan eisiocht,
Do'n lagar le h-aostacht is tu a gcabhair 'sa scath.
Mar bharr ar gach lean-lot do mheara mo cheadfadh,
'S d'fagh dealbh gan cheill me ag mheathach mar taim,
Gur chailliosa laochradh ba chabhair dom' eigin,
Fearachoin eachtach Caisil is Chlair!
Do cheanglais le nuadhchar, flaith ceannsa de'n
chuainne,
O Aontroim na nguaisbheartm 's o Albain ard,
De'n chlainn sin Cholla Uais mhir fuair Teamhair is Tuadhmhumhain,
A ndan sin a n-dualgas na n-aithreach o's fhas.
Cread damhsa na luadhfain an lann-mharcach uasal,
An crann-caithir cnuasach gan casadh air a laimh,
Gan fann-bheart, gan truailleacht, acht ceannsacht le cuallacht,
An planda do shuathadh tre chaise d'fhuil Tail
