Zive

Thoo whun the Club-men wor zo thick, Esput my zive upon a Stick, And about eswent among 'um ; And by my Troth esdid suppose That they were honester than those That now do zwear they'll hang 'um.

I knaw'd tud be zo vour or vive months ago / when I handled the rip-hook and zive.

Or in the dae, a-vleeren droo The leafy trees, the huosse gookoo Da zing to mowers that da zet Their zives on end, an' stan' to whet.
