<lb n="1"/>
<lb n="2"/><p><span>I</span>
<lb n="3"/><span>Draw near each constant fair one and give ear to what I compose,</span>
<lb n="4"/><span>Ós anois is mian liom tréartha na déagh-mhná chur síos air fheabhas:</span>
<lb n="5"/><span>She is proper, tall and stately, her praise I'll now begin,</span>
<lb n="6"/><span>'S 'air liom gur dheise an chraobh í ná Déirdre chuir Clann Uisneach</span>
<lb n="7"/><span>thair tuinn.</span></p>
<lb n="8"/>
<lb n="9"/><p><span>II</span>
<lb n="10"/><span>Down by a chrystal fountain surrounded by dazzling beams</span>
<lb n="11"/><span>'Sé thárluigh dhamh-sa an bhlánaid na mbán-chrobh budh deise méin;</span>
<lb n="12"/><span>She appeared to me like Venus or Phoebus that shines most clear,</span>
<lb n="13"/><span>'S tráth chonairc meise an mhaighdean 'sé thóig céad soighde thríd lár mo</span>
<lb n="14"/><span>chroidhe.</span></p>
<lb n="15"/>
<lb n="16"/><p><span>III</span>
<lb n="17"/><span>My love she's like the daisies in April that gently grow,</span>
<lb n="18"/><span>A dá chígh chruinne ghlégheala 's a craobh-fholt mar sgáinní óir;</span>
<lb n="19"/><span>It is in her breast in safety I would daily my heart repose,</span>
<lb n="20"/><span>'S a bhantracht annsacht éigse ná tréig-se do ghrádh air ór.</span></p>
<lb n="21"/>
<lb n="22"/><p><span>IV</span>
<lb n="23"/><span>My love she doth resemble the swan on the foaming main,</span>
<lb n="24"/><span>Le maise, deise 's breáigheacht gur sháruigh sí maitheas Gaedheal;</span>
<lb n="25"/><span>Her modesty all over is more than I can explain,</span>
<lb n="26"/><span>'S a rosga malla mómhar do bhreóidh is do mhearuigh mé.</span></p>
<lb n="27"/>
<lb n="28"/><p><span>V</span>
<lb n="29"/><span>I courted you sincerely - I own it to be true -</span>
<lb n="30"/><span>Má tá tú do mo thréigbheál, a spéir-bhean is deise snuadh,</span>
<lb n="31"/><span>Do you mean for to deceive me and leave me in misery?</span>
<lb n="32"/><span>'S a chailín deas na bpéarlaí táim réidh le do chumann caoin.</span></p>
<lb n="33"/>
<lb n="34"/><p><span>VI</span>
<lb n="35"/><span>Draw near my lovely fair one, release me and set me free,</span>
<lb n="36"/><span>'S gur i mbrollach geal do léiní, a chéad searc, atá mo chroidhe;</span>
<lb n="37"/><span>You are the only female that can ease my calamity,</span>
<lb n="38"/><span>Agus rachadh meise a dh'éag, if you forsake me, Rose Farrelly.</span></p>
