At Brookwell, now a-meäde by hand.

THE SHY MAN.

Ah! good Meäster Gwillet, that you mid ha' know'd,

Wer a-bred up at Coomb, an' went little abroad:

An' if he got in among strangers, he velt

His poor heart in a twitter, an' ready to melt;

Or if, by ill luck, in his rambles, he met

Wi' zome maïdens a-titt'rèn, he burn'd wi' a het,

That shot all drough the lim's o'n, an' left a cwold zweat,
