ROBERT.

Aye, if a young chap, woonce, had any wit

To try an' scrape together zome vew pound,

To buy some cows an' teäke a bit o' ground,

He mid become a farmer, bit by bit.

But, hang it! now the farms be all so big,

An' bits o' groun' so skeä'ce, woone got no scope;

If woone could seäve a poun', woone couldden hope

To keep noo live stock but a little pig.
