The maïdens an' chaps be a-waïtèn vor thee;

There's Jim wi' his fiddle to plaÿ us some reels,

Come out along wi' us, an' fling up thy heels.

Come, all the long grass is a-mow'd an' a-carr'd,

An' the turf is so smooth as a bwoard an' so hard;

There's a bank to zit down, when y'ave danced a reel drough,

An' a tree over head vor to keep off the dew.

There be rwoses an' honeyzucks hangèn among

The bushes, to put in thy weäst; an' the zong

O' the nightingeäle's heärd in the hedges all roun';
