An' poor wold Betty dead an' gone;

An' cleän-grown Tom so spry an' strong,

An' Liz the best to pitch a zong,

That now ha' nearly half a score

O' childern zwarmèn at her door;

An' whindlen Ann, that cried wi' fear

To hear the thunder when 'twer near,—

A zickly maïd, so peäle's the moon,

That voun' her zun goo down at noon;

An' blushèn Jeäne so shy an' meek,
