TO THA DWELLERS O' THA WEST,

Tha Fruit o' longvul labour, years,

In theäze veo leaves at last appears.

Ta you, tha dwellers o' tha West,

I'm pleas'd that thâ shood be addresst:

And niver, niver sholl vorget

I vust drâw'd breath in _Zummerzet_;

Amangst ye liv'd, and left ye zorry,

As you'll knaw when you hire my storry.

Theäze little book than take o' me;

'Tis âll I hâ just now ta gee

An when you rade o' _Tommy Gool_,

Or _Tommy Came_, or _Pal_ at school,

Or _Mr. Guy_, or _Fanny Fear_,--

I thenk you'll shod vor her a tear)

_Tha Rookery_, or _Mary's Crutch_,

Tha cap o' which I love ta touch,

You'll vine that I do not vorget

My naatal swile--dear Zummerzet.
