Hu-a ho, &c."
2.   " The day has been that I did not think,
Although it is vain to repeat it, Thou ever couldst have been drowned In an open sea.
Hu-a ho, &c."

'Stu air cul a builbhearte,
Dh' aindeou anradh nan duillean,
Agus ubraid na mara—

And thou shouldst be in the command, Despite the fierce war of the elements And the angry tumult of the ocean—
Hu-a ho, &c."
