<lb n="2"/><p><span>The following were sent by Mr. Daniel</span>
<lb n="3"/><span>MacCabe, Banteer, Cork: — Léig mé chum</span>
<lb n="4"/><span>an bhodaigh, acht ná léig an bodach chugham.</span>
<lb n="5"/><span>Tar éis na mionn 'seadh is fearr na mná.</span>
<lb n="6"/><span>Is fearr sioc ioná síor-bhaisdeach.  Sult-</span>
<lb n="7"/><span>mhar an rud bolg lán.  Is trom an t-ualach,</span>
<lb n="8"/><span>ualach do phutógaibh folamha.  Cad do dhéan-</span>
<lb n="9"/><span>fadh mac an chuit ach luch do mharbhadh.</span>
<lb n="10"/><span>Canann meisge fíor.  Is minic do bhidheann</span>
<lb n="11"/><span>an fhírinne searbh, ach ní fhaghann sí náire go</span>
<lb n="12"/><span>deo.</span></p>
<lb n="13"/>
<lb n="14"/><p><span>Dhá fhad a's bheidheas tú amuigh, ná beir</span>
<lb n="15"/><span>droich-sgeul a bhaile ort féin.  Is sona an</span>
<lb n="16"/><span>té do ghní trócaire ar na bochtaibh.  Is maith</span>
<lb n="17"/><span>an bhinéigre vinegar, appetiser an sliabh.</span>
<lb n="18"/><span>Nodlaig bhreagh, reilig mhéith.  Fál an bhodaigh</span>
<lb n="19"/><span>d'éis na foghla.  Ní rinn beul 'na thost a</span>
<lb n="20"/><span>aimhleas riamh.  Is minic bhidheas mioscais agus</span>
<lb n="21"/><span>smigeadh.  Eist lé fuaim na h-abhann a's</span>
<lb n="22"/><span>gheobhair breac.  Ní thigeann rith a's abhas-</span>
<lb n="23"/><span>trach lé n-a chéile.  An comhgar chum bidh a's</span>
<lb n="24"/><span>an timcheall chum oibre.  Téidheann na</span>
<lb n="25"/><span>focail le gaoith, ach téidheann na builli go</span>

<lb n="27"/><span>Ní thigeann rith maith do'n each i gcomhnuidhe.</span>
<lb n="28"/><span>Malairt oibre do ghnidheas sgíth.  Mol an</span>

<lb n="33"/><span>deireadh air (míol-bhuidhe, better míol-mhaighe,</span>
<lb n="34"/><span>“animal of the plain,” a hare).  Cuirfidh an</span>
<lb n="35"/><span>ghaoth leath-s-tuaidh an bháisdeach ar g-cúl.</span>
<lb n="36"/><span>Gach dalta mar a h-oiltear, a's an lacha</span>

<lb n="38"/><span>brón deireadh an ghrádha.  Triopall do</span>
<lb n="39"/><span>chnuasaigheas beart.  Ní thig dá thráigh leis</span>
<lb n="40"/><span>an ngobadán (the “sand-piper“, a sea-bird</span>
<lb n="41"/><span>like a snipe, found on the S. W. coast).</span>
<lb n="42"/><span>Eugcóir ós cionn gach eug córa, eugcóir ar</span>
<lb n="43"/><span>dhuine mhaith.  An té nach faghann an fheoil,</span>
<lb n="44"/><span>is mór an sogh leis an anbhruith.  Sárui-</span>
<lb n="45"/><span>gheann gliocas an leimhe.</span></p>
<lb n="46"/>
<lb n="47"/><p><span>Iasgaireacht an chuit ar an tráigh (.i. is</span>

<lb n="50"/>
<lb n="51"/><p><span>The following are from a young Gaedhil-</span>
<lb n="52"/><span>geoir in N. W. Cork:—</span></p>
<lb n="53"/>
<lb n="54"/><p><span>Ní fearr biadh iona ciall.  Ní maith é an</span>
<lb n="55"/><span>t-athghilleadh relapse bidheann an rotha</span>
<lb n="56"/><span>ag casadh.  Is deacair an girr-fhiadh chur as</span>
<lb n="57"/><span>an tor 'na mbéidh sé.  Is fearr feuchaint</span>
<lb n="58"/><span>rómhat ioná dhá fheuchaint ad' dhiaidh.  Ní</span>
<lb n="59"/><span>mar a shaoiltear a bhithear.  Bidheann an</span>
<lb n="60"/><span>grádh i ndiaidh an tairbhe.  Do dhuine gan</span>
<lb n="61"/><span>náire is fusa a ghnó a dhéanamh.  Rud na'</span>
<lb n="62"/><span>bidheann leigheas air, foighne is fearr air.</span>
<lb n="63"/><span>Níor loit Dia aon rud riamh nach leigheasfadh</span>
<lb n="64"/><span>sé é.  I gcosaibh na con bidheann a cuid.</span>
<lb n="65"/><span>Is mór buacach, iad adharca na bó tar lear.</span>
<lb n="66"/><span>Bí ag faire choidhche a's gheobhaidh uair na</span>
<lb n="67"/><span>faille ort (or uair nó faill?).  Ní cheileann</span>
