SAM.

Ah! hang thee, Bob! don't tell sich whoppèn lies.

_My_ weäle's the biggest, if do come to size.

'Tis jist the seäme whatever bist about;

Why, when dost goo a-teddèn grass, you sloth,

Another hand's a-fwo'c'd to teäke thy zwath,

An' ted a half way back to help thee out;

An' then a-reäkèn rollers, bist so slack,

Dost keep the very bwoys an' women back.

An' if dost think that thou canst challenge I

At any thing,--then, Bob, we'll teäke a pick a-piece,

An' woonce theäse zummer, goo an' try

To meäke a rick a-piece.

A rick o' thine wull look a little funny,

When thou'st a-done en, I'll bet any money.
