Thik happy night, at Herrenston.

An' then the clerk, avore the vier,

Begun to lead, wi' smilèn feäce,

A carol, wi' the Monkton quire,

That rung drough all the crowded pleäce.

An' dins' o' words an' laughter broke

In merry peals drough clouds o' smoke;

Vor hardly wer there woone that spoke,

But pass'd a joke, at Herrenston.

Then man an' maïd stood up by twos,
