seansceal agus meirg air..

Na mealltar thu a oganaigh,
ag cuar na caolchos,
na le haonbhaint nach bhfuil buan.
Na bi I do sclabhai suile,
ar mhaithe le gearrfheachaint ceathrun,
na spleachadh imleachain,
a dtugtar go fras,d`aonghno,
Ta croth an chailli ina scath!
B`fhearr I bhfad do Maud Gonne fein a chuartu
agus I a choinneail sior-og le dan do dhilseachta,
na seanfhear gan fhiacla,gan gra,
a dheanamh diot fein..

Don`t be taken in young man,
by fine leg or curvy figure,
or any other shallow distraction.
Desist from leering at flashes of shapely thigh
or glimpses of bellybuttons,
which are freely and deliberately displayed,
They soon degenerate into old hags!
It would be better for you
to seek out your own Maud Gonne,
and keep her forever young with
the noose of your sincerity,
Than to end up a toothless,loveless old man.
