Cid glic fri hailchi úara...

Cid glic fri hailchi úara,
cid sáer ac imirt béla,
cid binn a dord fri dúana,
do chúala as borb nat léga.

(although * clever * at * stones * cold / although * a craftsman * at * plying * of an axe / although * sweet * his * vocalizing * at * songs / I heard * is * rude * that not * reads)

Though clever with cold stones,
though a craftsman with an axe,
though sweet his singing voice,
I’ve heard he is dull who does not read.

Another verse like the one before, edited by Kuno Meyer in ZCP.
