    • Máire Mhac an tSaoi, An Crann (The Tree), reprinted with an English translation in Declan Kiberd's Inventing Ireland, page 603:
      Thit an tóin as mo bholg
      is faoi mar a gheobhainn lascadh cic
      nó leacadar sna baotháin
      íon taom anbhainne isteach orm
      a dhein chomh lag san mé
      gurb ar éigin a bhí ardú na méire ionam
      as san go ceann trí lá.
      Paul Muldoon's version is as unbuttoned as the original:
      The bottom falling out of my belly
      as if I had got a kick up the arse
      or a punch in the kidneys.
      A fainting-fit coming over me
      that took the legs from under me
      and left me so zonked
      I could barely lift a finger
      till Wednesday.

  4. (with ann/as) switch (on/off)
