—Seven days, or none—
Am I not tellin’ thee summat?
Tha come to bid farewell to me—
Tha’rt frit o’ summat.
To kiss me and shed a tear wi’ me,
Then off and away wi’ the weddin’ ring
For the girl who was grander, and better than me
For marrying—
Tha’rt frit o’ summat?
I durstna kiss thee tha trembles so, [p. lvii]
