O' eäle, to keep wold Chris'mas up.

An' let thy sister teäke thy eärm,

The walk won't do her any harm;

There's noo dirt now to spweil her frock,

The ground's a-vroze so hard's a rock.

You won't meet any stranger's feäce,

But only naïghbours o' the pleäce,

An' Stowe, an' Combe; an' two or dree

Vrom uncle's up at Rookery.

An' thou wu'lt vind a rwosy feäce,
