JEALOUSY

On Zunday marn dro’ varmer’s wheat

I zeed the print and track o’ veet:

If I’d a had a rook-gun then

They vaur veet would’n a walked again.

Two on ’em—they o’ the larger zize—

I coulden praperly reckernize.

Two wer the purty-printed veet

O’ Molly—zo valse as she be sweet.

I hadn’t no bird-gun: zo it fell

As I maun laugh—ho, ho!—and tell

Here in a pub at the end o’ the street

O’ the winding—ha! ha!—o’ they vaur veet.

But may the zoul o’ him as wore

They hob-nails roast vor evermore;

And the veet wi’ the instep’s purty curve

May both on ’em get what um deserve!
