'Tis merry where a gaÿ-tongued lot

Ov haÿ-meäkers be all a-squot,

On lightly-russlèn haÿ, a-spread

Below an elem's lofty head,

To rest their weary limbs an' munch

Their bit o' dinner, or their nunch;

Where teethy reäkes do lie all round

By picks a-stuck up into ground.

An' wi' their vittles in their laps,

An' in their hornen cups their draps
