"Bás in Éirinn", subtitled "May you die in Ireland" is a good book of excellent stories (with the Irish and English text facing each other on each pair of pages).

Humorous, mostly. In one of them "God rest Mící", the keening of the wife and the old woman (who is the professional keener), are contrasted, "As the old woman said, her keening had too much music in it" (as the widow is seen around town with a new man that year).
