Thursty

In 1548, during the second year of the reign of Edward VI, a London newsbook proclaimed that there was a “thursty desyer that all our kynde hath to know.”

All soules that be thursty bid threshe out for mawlt:

Compare that wi' drinkin when you're thursty — either clear well-water, or sour- milk, or sma' yill, or porter, or speerits half-and-half, and then I wad say that eatin and drinkin's pretty much of a muchness...

'We'm horful thursty, marm. Ee sun be 'ot out thurr!'
