Come out, though not in me'th,

But held her breath, to hear his zong.

Then, while the bird wi' oben bill

Did warble on, her vaïce wer still;

An' as she stood avore me, bound

In stillness to the flow'ry mound,

"The bird's a jaÿ to zome,"

I thought, "but when he's dum,

Her vaïce will come, wi' sweeter sound."
