26. Cock-a-Bevis Hill. At Tottum's Cock-a-Bevis Hill, A sput suppass'd by few, Where toddlers ollis haut to eye The proper pritty wiew; Where people crake so ov the place Leas-ways, so I've hard say ; An' fruni its top yow, sarteny, Can see a nionsus way. 'Bout this oad Hill, I warrant ya, Their bog it nuver ceases ; They'd growl shud yow nut own that it Beats Danbury's au' to pieces. But no sense ov a place, some think, Is this ere hill so high, — Cos there, full oft, 'tis nation coad, But tha...t don't argufy. Yit, if they their inquirations maake In winter time, some will Condemn that place as no great shakes, Where folks ha' the coad-chill! As sum'dy, 'haps, when nigh the sput, May ha' a wish to see't, — From Mauldon toun to Keldon 'tis, An' 'gin a four releet, Where up the road the load it goos So lugsome an' so stiff, That bosses mosly kitch a whop, Frum drivers in a tiff. 40 PROVINCIAL DIALECTS. But who'd pay a hoss when tugging on ? None but a tetchy elf: Tis right on plain etch chap desarves A clumsy thump himself.
