Critics, pray do not reject
What is writ in dialect,
For the common peoples thought
Should In common speech be wrought
And the crude but punGent word
Should be written as it heard
Wise or foolish. If It's true.
That should be enough for youi
With mans speech is something blent
Caught from his environment
Strong, rebeiliou8 and the : hCUls
Only scotch it with their rules.
Hcn may fashion q disguise
Eafiing to his EelghLors' eyes.
But upon his tongue will be
Stamped his true identity
Therefore, critics. pray reject
Nothing writ IN dialect
Which in story Or III rhyme
Is record Of the time,
