An' suppoase 'at it is'nt—what then?

Wod yo bawk a chap ov his desire?

Aw'm detarmined to scribble away—

Soa's them 'at's a fancy con read;

An' tho aw turn neet into day,

If aw'm suitin an odd en, neer heed!

Aw own ther's mich pleasure i' life;

But then ther's abundance o' care,

An' them 'at's contented wi' strife

May allus mak sure o' ther share.
