     Lá amháin bhí sé ag dul thart leis an bhealach mór, agus a thiománach leis. Chonnaic sé cailín ag nigheachán i sruthán le cois an bhealaigh mhóir ⁊ chuir sé an tiománach síos ag fiafraighe di a’ bpósfadh sí é. ’Sé dubhairt sí leis an tiománach​—​“Stad do chuid déanamh grinn ⁊ magaidh ormsa.”

     One day he was going along the road, and his driver with him. He saw a girl washing in a stream by the roadside, and he sent his driver down to ask her if she would marry him. It is what she said to the driver: “Leave off your merry-making and don’t be mocking me.”
