(i)
Rígh gan tús gan deireadh Dia,
ní tús is ní deireadh dho,
go ttugaidh dhamh a chur a ccrích
a shith gan ghábha gan gho.



(ii)
Ní ghabhann aineolach dall
eolus ó neach dá mairionn,
bheith gan eolus ba fearr leis
ná rádh go mbeith a n-ainbhfios.



(iii)
An cnoc is airde is é is fuaire,
cidh gurb dhó is foigse an ghrian,
an tí is doimhne théid sna leabhraibh
dó is deacra Dia do riar.



(iv)
Bheith a mbeartuibh loma
ní nár do mhacaibh foghlama,
buille ar mheath ní nár do neach,
s a dhan do bheith ar biseach.
