    • 1894 March 1, Peadar Mac Fionnlaoigh, “An rí nach robh le fagháil bháis”, in Irisleabhar na Gaedhilge, volume 1:5, Dublin: Gaelic Union, pages 185–88:
      D’innis an gasúr dó fá’n gharrdha plúr do chonnaic sé, “agus,” ar seision, “ar eagla nach gcreidfidhe mé, bhain mé ceann de na plúir, ⁊ thug liom é ⁊ sin chugat é.”
      The youth told him about the garden of flowers, which he saw, "and," says he, "lest I might not be believed, I plucked one and brought it with me, and here it is."
