Led me to teäke a higher pleäce,

An' lighten'd up my mind wi' lore,

An' bless'd me wi' a worldly store;

But still noo winsome feäce or vaïce,

Had ever been my wedded chaïce;

An' then I thought, why do I mwope

Alwone without a jaÿ or hope?

Would she still think me low?

Or scorn a meäte, in my feäir steäte,

In here 'ithin a pillar'd geäte,
