1. Níl leigheas ar an ngrá ach pósadh
   There is no cure for love other than marriage
2. Ní féasta go rósta, ní céasadh go pósta
   There is no feast without a roast, there is no torment without being married
3. Má tá tú chun pósadh, pós anuraidh
   If you are going to marry, marry last year [Marry young if you are going to marry at all]
4. Faigh do bhean i gcóngar, ach i bhfad uait díol do bhó
   Get your wife locally, but far from you sell your cow
5. Má tá moladh uait, faigh bás;  má tá cáineadh uait, pós
   If you want praise, die;  if you would criticism, marry
