Part of The Spinster's Sweet-Arts

An' I sits i' my oän little parlour, an' sarved by my oän little lass,

Wi' my oän little garden outside, an' my oän bed o' sparrow-grass,

An' my oän door-poorch wi the woodbine an' jessmine a-dressin' it greeän,

An' my oän fine Jackman i' purple a roäbin' the 'ouse like a Queeän.
