Yeu ken rede, rite, cifer en- spell;
En- haaf them fellerz kant du that,
More'n ketch mice like Whittendenz' hat
What du ttay kno bout state-things then?
Why, wife, jes this, thay kno thay'r men!

Yeu think thet'z why ther liker lawz
Mostly amount tn fiikz on 1lawz;

Their household carez, ther childrenz' wele
For ther lordz proper awe tn fele,
Tu tend ther six, amuze ther well,
