"You're goin' now, ahagur, to a strange land, where you'll meet ay, where my darlin' boy will meet the worst of company; but remember, alanna avillish, that your mother, well as she loves you, an' well, I own, as you deserve to be loved that mother that hung over the cradle of her only one that dressed him, an' reared him, an' felt many a proud heart out of him that mother would sooner at any time see him in his grave, his sowl bein' free from stain, than to know that his heart was corrupted by the world, an' the people you'll meet in it."

When I rise in the mornin', avillish, where 'ud be your smile and your voice? We won't hear your step, nor see you as we used to do, movin' pleasantly about the place. No you're gone, avoumeen gone an' we'll see you and hear you no more!"
The voices of the Dashers, or Blood-hounds, aren't now in your ears, nor need you be afraid that they will disturb your bed of death an' distract your poor sowl wid their blasphemin', when you ought to think of God's mercy.
