A taggelt like that sūd be hatit like puzzen—

He’ll niver be t’ clean Ned o’ Kes’ick, nūt he!

Or a man ’at likes brass, an’ cheats o’ maks o’ ways for’t,

An’ clowks at advantage whoariver he can;

An’ taks drink gaily free when anudder chap pays for’t,

But wi’n’t stand his share iv a shot like a man:

’At ol’a’s for sūm dūrty profit ligs watchin’;

’At keeps o’ he cares for anonder ya hat;

An’ pays what he owes fwok wid phraisin’ or fratchin’—

He munnet be t’ clean Ned o’ Kes’ick—moon’t that!
