<lb n="4"/><p><span>Sean-fhear a bhí ann, agus é 'na chomhnuidhe ag</span>
<lb n="5"/><span>á mhac.  Bhí an mac pósta, agus bhí lán an tighe</span>
<lb n="6"/><span>de pháistíbh ag an lánamhain.  Bhí an sean-</span>
<lb n="7"/><span>fhear ag fághail droch-úsáide agus níor mhaith</span>
<lb n="8"/><span>leis sin.  Fuair sé tamall de chupla scór</span>
<lb n="9"/><span>pontaí, agus nuair a bheidheadh sé 'na shuidhe</span>
<lb n="10"/><span>amuigh, bheidheadh sé ag conntus na bpontaí</span>
<lb n="11"/><span>ó láimh go dtí an lámh eile.  Chonnaic na</span>
<lb n="12"/><span>páistí na pontaí aige lá.  Rith siad isteach</span>
<lb n="13"/><span>chum tighe agus d'ársuigh siad do'n mháthair agus</span>
<lb n="14"/><span>do'n gháid go bhfaca siad na pontaí aige.</span>
<lb n="15"/><span>Fuair sé an aire ab' fhearr ar bith ó shoin</span>

<lb n="17"/><span>seo an tiomna a rinne sé:</span></p>
<lb n="18"/>
<lb n="19"/><p><span>A chlann chroidhe, ná bígidh ag gearán;</span>
<lb n="20"/><span>Siubhlaigidh an ród gan bhród gan onóir;</span>

<lb n="25"/>
<lb n="26"/><p><span>The réimhsgeal of the above was told to me by the late</span>
<lb n="27"/><span>Mr. Owen Ward, of Coolfore, near Carrickmacrass; I </span>
<lb n="28"/><span>give it with a slight amplification to make the story</span>
<lb n="29"/><span>clearer.  The stanza is given above as I heard it from</span>
<lb n="30"/><span>Mr. Lucas Morris, Cashlan East.  Mr. Owen Ward had</span>
<lb n="31"/><span>it thus:-</span></p>
<lb n="32"/>

<lb n="39"/><span>Tamall, a loan for a short while; iasacht, if used</span>
<lb n="40"/><span>here instead, would include the power of expending</span>
<lb n="41"/><span>the money as part of its meaning.  Conntus, verbal</span>
<lb n="42"/><span>noun of conntuis v. count.  In Ulster this appears to</span>
<lb n="43"/><span>be the word applied to the act of counting, whereas</span>
<lb n="44"/><span>áireamh, which is equally common, signifies  “ennumera-</span>
<lb n="45"/><span>tion” — e.g., án cuir air an áirimh mé, don't include me in</span></p>
