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."
