l o' ther clooaks be divested, An' what they're entitled to, that let em tak. Give it 'em hot! but remember when praichin, All yo 'at profess others failins to tell, 'At yo'll do far moor gooid wi' yor tawkin an' taichin, If yo set an example, an' improve yorsel. Th' Honest Hard Worker. It's hard what poor fowk mun put u'p wi'! What insults an' snubs they've to tak! What bowin an' scrapin's expected, If a chap's a black coit on his back. As if clooas made a chap ony better, Or riches improved a man's heart, As if muck in a carriage smell'd sweeter Nor th' same muck wod smell in a cart. Give me one, hard workin, an' honest, Tho' his clooas may be greasy and coorse; If it's muck 'ats been getten bi labor, It does'nt mak th' man ony worse. Awm sick o' thease simpering dandies, 'At think coss they've getten some brass, They've a reight to luk daan at th' hard workers, An' curl up their nooas as they pass. It's a poor sooart o' life to be leadin, To be curlin an' partin ther hair; An' seekin one's own fun and pleasure, Niver thinkin ha others mun fare. It's all varry weel to be spendin Ther time at a hunt or a ball, But if th' workers war huntin an' doncin, Whativer wad come on us all? Ther's summat beside fun an' frolic To live for, aw think, if we try; Th' world owes moor to a honest hard worker Nor it does to a rich fly-bi-sky. Tho' wealth aw acknowledge is useful, An' awve oft felt a want on't misen, Yet th' world withaat brass could keep movin, But it wodn't do long withaat men. One truth they may put i' ther meersham, An' smoke it--that is if they can; A man may mak hooshuns o' riches, But riches can ne'er mak a man. Then give me that honest hard worker, 'At labors throo marnin to neet, Tho' his rest may be little an' seldom, Yet th' little he gets he finds sweet. He may rank wi' his wealthier brother, An' rank heigher, aw fancy, nor some; For a hand 'at's weel hoofed wi' hard labor Is a passport to th' world 'at's to come. For we know it's a sin to be idle, As man's days i' this world are but few; Then let's all wi' awr lot 'be contented, An' continue to toil an' to tew. For ther's one thing we all may be sure on, If we each do awr best wol we're here, 'At when, th' time comes for reckonin, we're called on, We shall have varry little to fear. An' at last, when, we throw daan awr tackle,
