|  |  | OR, THE BASHFUL SHEPHERD: A Pastoral, IN THE CUMBERLAND DIALECT.
 
  
When welcome rain the weary reapers droveBeneath the shelter of a neighbouring grove,
 Robin, a love-sick swain lagg'd far behind,
 Nor seem'd the weight of falling showers to mind;
 A distant solitary shade he sought,
 And thus disclos'd the troubles of his thought.
  
Ay, ay, thur drops may cuil my outside heat,Thur callar blasts may wear the boilen sweat;
 But ny het bluid, my heart aw' in a bruil,
 Nor callar blasts can wear, nor drops can cuil.
