Ċuaiḋ Seaġán ar cuaird go dti tiġ duine ṁuintearḋa ar uair eile. Níor ṫaitniġ leis an úsáid fuair sé, ⁊ do ċum sé an rann so:
“A Ṡeaġáin na Noḋlag, ní misde ḋuit éirġe ar cuaird,
Dul ċum an Aifrinn, ’s do ṡailm do léiġead go luaṫ,
’Guiḋeaċaint ċum Peadair ⁊ na h-Aspal tá láidir buan
Arán ⁊ bainne ḃeiṫ agad go raġṫá i n-uaiġ.”33
