<lb n="7"/><span>féin aige.</span></p>
<lb n="8"/>
<lb n="9"/><p><span>There is nobody without his own ugly</span>
<lb n="10"/><span>little way.</span></p>
<lb n="11"/>
<lb n="12"/><p><span>15. Grása Dé chughainn, agus bás i nÉirinn.</span></p>
<lb n="13"/>
<lb n="14"/><p><span>The grace of God towards us, and</span>
<lb n="15"/><span>death in Ireland.</span></p>
<lb n="16"/>
<lb n="17"/><p><span>16. Is dána gach madradh 'na dhorus féin.</span></p>
<lb n="18"/>
<lb n="19"/><p><span>Every dog is bold in his own doorway.</span></p>
<lb n="20"/>
<lb n="21"/><p><span>17. Dá mbínn-si agad' thigh-si, mar thaoi-si </span>
<lb n="22"/><span>agam' thigh-si,</span>
<lb n="23"/><span>Ní stadfainn de'n rith sin go righfinn </span>
<lb n="24"/><span>a-bhaile;</span>
<lb n="25"/><span>Ó thaoi-si agam' thigh-si, fan go lá,</span>
<lb n="26"/><span>'S dá mbínn-si agad' thigh-si, ní fhanfainn </span>
<lb n="27"/><span>go lá.</span></p>
<lb n="28"/>
<lb n="29"/><p><span>Were I at your house, as you are at </span>
<lb n="30"/><span>my house,</span>
<lb n="31"/><span>I would not stop of that race till I </span>
<lb n="32"/><span>reached home;</span>
<lb n="33"/><span>As you are at my house, stay till day,</span>
<lb n="34"/><span>And were I at your house, I would not</span>
<lb n="35"/><span>stay till day.</span></p>
<lb n="36"/>
<lb n="37"/><p><span>18. 'Chonách-san ar na daoine go bhfuil na </span>
<lb n="38"/><span>ba aca, mar adubhairt an fear 'nuair </span>
<lb n="39"/><span>d'fheuch sé amach maidin fhuar shneachta.</span></p>
<lb n="40"/>
<lb n="41"/><p><span>“Such luck attend the people that have</span>

<lb n="73"/><span>the race.</span></p>
<lb n="74"/>
<lb n="75"/><p><span>24. Dá bhfeiceadh duine é féin, mar chídheann </span>
<lb n="76"/><span>daoine eile é, ní bheidheadh leath an </span>
<lb n="77"/><span>mheasa aige air féin.</span></p>

<lb n="102"/><span>Whe the trout leave the river</span>
<lb n="103"/><span>To nibble the skulls in the </span>
