wet, An' let thi heart be glad, For tho' tha's wed a rooamer, yet, Tha's wed a honest lad. Ther's mony a lady, rich an' great, 'At's sarvents at her call, Wod freely change her grand estate For thine tha thinks soa small: For riches cannot buy content, Soa tho' thi joys be few, Tha's one ther's nowt con stand anent,-- A heart 'at's kind an' true. Soa when he comes luk breet an' gay, An' meet him wi' a kiss, Tha'll find him mooar inclined to stay Wi treatment sich as this; But if thi een luk red like that, He'll see all's wrang at once, He'll leet his pipe, an' don his hat, An' bolt if he's a chonce. Jockey an Dolly. Th' sun shone breet at early morn, Burds sang sweetly on the trees; Larks wor springin from the corn, Tender blossoms sowt the breeze. Jockey whistled as he went O'er rich meadows wet wi' dew; In his breast wor sweet content, For his wants an cares were few. Dolly passed him on his way, Fresh an sweet an fair wor she; Jockey lost his heart that day, To the maid ov Salterlee. Jockey an Dolly Had allus been jolly, Till Love shot his arrow an wounded the twain; Their days then pass sadly, Yet man an maid madly, In spite ov the torture, they nursed the sweet pain. Since that day did jockey pine, Dolly shyly kept apart; Still shoo milk'd her willin kine, Tho' shoo nursed a braikin heart, But one neet they met i'th' fold, When a silv'ry mooin did shine; Jockey then his true love told, An he axt, "will't thou be mine?" Tears ov joy filled Dolly's een, As shoo answered modestly; Dolly nah is Jockey's queen, Th' bonniest wife i' Salterlee. Jockey an Dolly, Are livin an jolly, May blessins for ivver attend i' ther train; Ther days they pass gladly, Noa moor they feel sadly, For two hearts are for ivver bound fast i' Love's chain. Dooant Forget the Old Fowks. Dooant forget the old fowks,-- They've done a lot for thee; Remember tha'd a mother once, Who nursed thi on her knee. A father too, who tew'd all day To mak thi what tha art, An dooant forget tha owes a debt, An strive to pay a part. Just think ha helpless once tha wor,-- A tiny little tot; But tha wor given th' cosiest nook I' all that little cot. Thy ivvery want wor tended to, An soothed thy ivver
