<lb n="4"/><span>gCathair Odhar, agus ní sháiseóchadh sain duine muinn-</span>
<lb n="5"/><span>teardha dhom gan a thuilleadh feasa thabhairt dó.  Deir</span>

<lb n="39"/><p><span>Acht bíodh sin mar atá, d'airigheas an lá eile go</span>

<lb n="73"/><p><span>“Bhí go maith,” adeir Bilí; “bhíomar ag glanadh ar</span>

<lb n="77"/><span>mar shíleas go raibh an oidhche ann & na mílte réaltan</span>
