An' can't paÿ twenty shillèns vor a pound?

What can't ye put a lwoaf on shelf?

JOHN.

Ees, now;

But I do fear I shan't 'ithout my cow.

No; they do mëan to teäke the moor in, I do hear,

An' 'twill be soon begun upon;

Zoo I must zell my bit o' stock to-year,

Because they woon't have any groun' to run upon.

THOMAS.
