THE MODERN STANDARD OF IRISH.



B'fhearr liom lem' bheo, gan capall, gan bó,
Gan earraidhe is fós gan árus,
Ná imtheacht sa' ród mar Icarus óg
Mac Daedaluis eolaigh ághmhair.
B'fhearr imtheacht sa' mheadhón, mar teagaisgeadh
dhó,
Ná brosnadh le stró go hárd suas,
'S gur thuit sé fa dheoidh, 's a chleiti gan treoir,
'S gur i dtonnaibh na bóchna báthadh é.
