There is a mocking atmosphere in the 1st verse
Tá atmaisféar magúil sa chéad véarsa
She’s mocking her poor man
Bíonn sí ag spochadh as an bhfear bocht
He’s not as handsome as any flower…it doesn’t matter what sort
Níl sé chomh dathúil le bláth ar bith…is cuma cén sort
She uses images
Úsáideann sí íomhánna
She is giving out that his ears are not clean
Tá sí ag tabhairt amach nach bhfuil a chluasa glan
She mentions Shakespeare
Luann sí Shakespeare
She is giving out because he has rough hair
Tá sí ag tabhairt amach mar tá gruaig gharbh aige

The poet says that she has love for her man because he has a good personality
Insíonn an file go bhfuil grá aici dá fear toisc go bhfuil pearsantacht mhaith aige
That is the most valuable/precious thing in their relationship, according to her
Sin é an rud is luachmhaire i gcaidreamh dar léi
The poet uses two metaphores
Úsaideann an file dhá mheafair
The apples stand for the needs of life he gives her, and the grapes for pleasures of life
Seasann an úlla do riachtanais an tsaoil a thugann sé di, agus seasann na caora finiúna do shónna an tsaoil.
The poet is saying that she can depend on him, and that is the most important thing
Tá an file ag rá gur féidir léi brath air agus sin an rud is tábhachtaí
In the brackets, ridicule is happening
Sna lúibíní, tá scigmhagadh ar siúl
The use of brackets creates a funny effect
Cruthaíonn le húsáid lúibíní eífeacht greannmhar
The end is different becuase she praises her main in the brackets
Tá an deireadh difriúil mar molann sí a fear sna lúibíní
