(MS p. 38)

1. Brath, ni ba beg a brisim in la loiscfis in domun,
ba coir, a Christ go n-gradhaib, do sil Adhaim a oman.

2. Is dur in cined daena, cruaidhi indat clocha a cridhi,
tan na taibret dia n-aire na piana ai[d]bli ili.

3. Intan sgefes in talum buidhni sil Adhaim adbail,
intan linfas aenlasair itir nem ocus talmuin.

4. Intan conricfat aendail dia ngleifidher cech caingen;
sluagh ifrinn, tuatha talman, arbur naem, noi ngradh n-aingel.

5. Intan beras in brethem bretha firena fira;
nem leis dona togaidib, don lucht claen tormach ndighla.

p. 30.

6. Int aes umal imisel craibhdhech co nglaine cridhi,
na dei[d]blena dereoili beit a ngradhaib Righ nime.

7. Na brithemain beilderga, na druit[h], na claein, na cainti,
na cruaidhcleirigh cosnamaigh ni fuigbet fiadh na failti.

8. Na formtigh, na fingalaigh, na cinn claena cin crabud,
na mna drutha dobanda, fogebat bas is badhudh.

9. Bidh serbgoirt a n-aithrighi, teilgfit dera tar gruaidhi
na heithigh, na heccraibdigh, aesgach pecaidh cu mbuaine.

10. Bidh aithis, bidh imdergadh do sluagh na claen atchiid,
tan atchichset na huili pecadh cech duini diïb.

11. Iar mbeith fri re rofata a teinidh bratha breoïd,
laifitir la ri[g] greine a loc peine fa deoïd.

12. Bid truagh a ngair dogenat, uch! bidh adbal a nguba
ac scarad fri naebhaingli, ac techt fria demna duba.

(MS p. 39)

13. Mairg anmain na faichledar breisim lai bratha brigaig,
mesa fo secht sechtmogat aitreb ifeirn duir diglaig.

14. A rofhuacht, a roloscud, a gorta, a ita adbul,
a tuargain, a tromdigal, a grain, a muich, a marbadh!

15. A ilpiasta aigthidhi, a cned, a golmairg merda,
a muir tuilbren teinntidhi, a gnuisi daera demna!

16. Mairg tainic ’sin mbethaid-se, mairg diar corp, mairg diar n-anmain,
do neoch diana[d] irdalta siraitreb ifirn angbaid!

17. Ar do baidhi, a baidhathair, ar do cennsa, a Rí nime,
nimreilce isin searbcarcair itáit osnadha ili.

18. Ar gach n-impidhi n-uasail i nim ocus a talmain,
intan tairgeba lem-sa dena cennsa frim anmain.

p. 31.

19. Ar do croich, ar do cesadh, ar do righ[f]laith, a Ruire,
tair dom chobair co calma, i crechtaib m’anma uile.

20. Ar cach n-impidhi n-uasail i nim ocus a talmain,
notguidim, a Christ chridi, rop flaith nime dom anmain.

21. Ar do croich, ar do cesadh, namcoimed ar gach cloeine,
na ramloiti, a Ri nemda, aslach demna na daine.

22. Ar do croich, ar do cesad, tair dom chobair fo chetoir,
resiu tias don bith buidhi, beir uaim uili cech n-eccoir.

23. Ar do trocaire n-adbu[i]l, namcoimed in cech inbuidh,
tuc do rogradh im anmain, co rob lomlan dot inmuin.

24. Corbam cruithnecht it it[h]lainn i lo loiscthi na catha,
co rucur buaidh is coscur tall i mbroscur in bratha. b. n.
