The first 8 lines of the epic poem “The Tale of Lục Vân Tiên” written in Quốc Âm Tân Tự

Trước đèn xem chuyện Tây Minh
Ngẫm cười hai chữ nhân tình éo le
Ai ai lẳng lặng mà nghe

Trai thời trung hiếu làm đầu
Gái thời tiết hạnh là câu trau mình
Có người ở quận Đông Thành
Tu nhân tích đức sớm sinh con hiền
