    • 1894 March, Peadar Mac Fionnlaoigh, “An rí nach robh le fagháil bháis”, in Irisleabhar na Gaedhilge, volume 1:5, Dublin: Gaelic Union, pages 185–88:
      ’Ar leis féin annsin “dá mbeidhinn ar ais ag an rígh anois, thiucfadh liom sgéalta iongantacha innsint dó, ⁊ gheobhainn airgiod uadh;” ⁊ mar sin de d’fhill sé ar ais ionns’ ar an rígh, agus fuair sé ’na shuidhe ins an gharrdha é.
      He then thought to himself : "If I were back now again with the king, I could tell him wonderful stories, and I'd get money from him"; and so returned to the king, and found him sitting in the garden.
