There werden woone but could a-twold

When he'd noo wish to seek abrode

Mwore jaÿ than thik wold pworch bestow'd!

For there, when yollow evenèn shed

His light ageän the elem's head,

An' gnots did whiver in the zun,

An' uncle's work wer all a-done,

His whiffs o' meltèn smoke did roll

Above his bendèn pipe's white bowl,

While he did chat, or, zittèn dumb,
