And so they made nothing o' me.
My kind relations wou'd soon have found out
What was best wi' my money to do:
Says I, "My dear cousins, I thank ye for nought,
But I'm not to be cozen'd by you!
For I'm Yorkshire too."[213]
THE SWEEPER AND THIEVES.
By D. Lewis.
The incident here recorded happened at a farm house, on Leeming Lane, some years ago, and is a favourite chap-book history.
