An' then you know that zome'hat is a-zeed

Down there in leäne, an' over in the meäd,

A-comèn zometimes lik' a slinkèn hound,

Or rollèn lik' a vleece along the ground.

An' woonce, when gramfer wi' his wold grey meäre

Wer ridèn down the leäne vrom Shroton feäir,

It roll'd so big's a pack ov wool across

The road just under en, an' leäm'd his hoss.

DICK.

Aye; did ye ever hear—vo'k zaid 'twer true—
