Sagairt Óir Is Cailís Chrainn Gan ainm	An Duanaire 1600 - 1900 (Poems of the Dispossessed) edited by Sean Ó Tuama Dublin: The Dolmen Press / Bord na Gaeilge, 1981
	*Gold priests, wooden chalices - translation by Thomas Kinsella*

Sagairt óir is cailís chrainn
bhí le linn Phádraig in Éirinn
sagairt chrainn is cailís óir
i ndeireadh an domhain dearóil

Gold priests, wooden chalices
in Ireland in Patrick's time,
Golden chalices, wooden priests,
as the wretched world stands now.
