An' then, if my païn wer a-zet wi' my gaïn,
I should paÿ vor my money,
An' only zell honey to buy zome'hat sweet.
Then, if my bit o' brook that do wind so vur round,
Wer but his, why, he'd straïghten his bed,
An' the wold stunpole woak that do stan' in my ground,
Shoudden long sheäde the grass wi' his head.
But if I do vind jaÿ where the leaves be a-shook
On the limbs, wi' their sheädes on the grass,
Or below, in the bow o' the withy-bound nook,
