Piaras Feiritéir cct. (circ. 1641)
Má’s é an leoṁan cróḋa Gaeḋeal i gceart
Do ḃéaras fód glan Fódla fé n-a smaċt,
I ḃfaice-si, a stócaiġ ċróin, noċ téid tar lear,
Beir ċum Eoġain ṁóir Uí Néill an ġlac.
By Pierce Ferriter (circ. 1641)
If he be truly the valiant lion of the Gael
That shall bring Fódla’s fair sod under his sway,
In this scrap of paper, O yellow ship’s mast that sailest the sea,
Bear to great Owen O’Neill the leadership!
