Ni maith siubhal ’s an domhnaich; ge bith chumas an t-saor. Ni maith michliu a chinnidh; ni maith feamachd mnatha beith. Ni maith sgriobhadh gun fhoghluim; ni maith caoruinn gu goirt. Ni maith Iarla gun bheurla; ni maith maraich ’na bhodach. Ni maith easpuig gun bharun; ni maith ainimh air sheanair. Ni maith sagairt air leth shùla; ni maith parson gu dearoil. Ni maith longphort gun imirt; ni maith innilt gu ro leisg. Ni maith earfhlaith gun tearmunn; ni maith teampull gun reilig. Ni maith bean gun bhi naireach; no fear clarsaich gun teud. Ni maith cogadh gun chalmachd; ni maith gabhail phort gun mharaich. Ni maith maighdean gu cainteach; ni maith doibhreas fhir ainfheich. Ni maith caslan gun oighre; ni maith dearmad chon teach. Ni maith gun urram d ’athair; ni maith labhairt na misge. Ni maith sgian gun fhaobhar; ni maith claonadh na breth. Ni maith cairdeas nan diabhul; do ’d mhac a rioghain rath oir, Ge dh’ fhoir se siol Adhaimh, ni maith dhasan a chroiche. Ni maith leughair gun tuigse; ni maith duine gun charaid. Ni maith filidh gun aobhar; ni maith aoilchludh gun talla. Ni maith eididh gun fhucadh; ni maith sùgradh gun ghàire. Ni maith mighniomh aghmhora; ni maith pòsadh gun àithne; Ni maith coroin gun bhàr; ni maith treabhadh ’s an oidhche. Ni maith eigeas gun chaomhas; ni maith crabhadh gun aithne. Ni maith.
