An' I'll laugh till my two zides do eäche

Or o' naïghbours in sorrow o' soul,

An' I'll tweil all the night vor their seäke;

An' show that to teäke things amiss

Idden bliss, to Gruffmoody Grim.

An' then let my child clim' my lag,

An' I'll lift en, wi' love, to my chin;

Or my maïd come an' coax me to bag

Vor a frock, an' a frock she shall win;

Or, then if my wife do meäke light
