A happy day at Whitsuntide,

As soon's the zun begun to vall,

We all stroll'd up the steep hill-zide

To Meldon, girt an' small;

Out where the castle wall stood high

A-mwoldrèn to the zunny sky.

An' there wi' Jenny took a stroll

Her youngest sister, Poll, so gaÿ,

Bezide John Hind, ah! merry soul,

An' mid her wedlock faÿ;
