Hello, Again...

In line with mnemonic phrases for the different dance and tune rhythms, I have a puzzle. I have a saying in Irish Gaelic, that I'd like to use as the basis for a tune, but I can't decide whether it should be a jig, hornpipe or strathspey by my ear alone. Could someone please lend a more practiced ear?

The saying is: "Is buaine focal ná toice an tsaoil" (A word is more enduring than worldly wealth).

A .wav file of a native speaker saying the line is here.
