- Teicht do Róim:
- mór saído, becc torbai!
- in rí chon·daigi hi foss,
- mani·m-bera latt, ní·fogbai.
Text from: R. Thurneysen, Old Irish Reader (Dublin, 1981), p. 41
- Going to Rome;
- a lot of trouble for little gain!
- The king you seek there —
- if you don't bring him with you, you will not find him.
