Teun-"Kill or Cure."

"Aw cannet de without it, for
Aw feel see awful dry, man!
Aw's sure aw've tried se money times,
An' noo thnk shem te try, man!"
"Huts, lad!" says aw, "just try agyen,
Wiv a resolution strang!
Ye'll seun find oot the difference,
An' ye'll say that aw'm not rang.

Korus.
"So try, maw hinny, try,
An' ye'll not be always dry:
But ye'll find yor-sel a better man,
So try, maw hinny, try!

"Aw mind the time when, Just like ye,
Aw cuddent de without it;
Aw drunk as much as ye de noo,--
Ye heh ne cawse te doot it.
Aw've thowt that nowt wad quench me thirst,
An ' aw've suffer'd a' the day,
Until aw had the sense te knaw
Aw wad heh te change me way.

"The mair ye drink the mair yor dry,
For mair yor always cravin-
What gud can beer or spirits de?
Is't health or senses savin?
The burning thirst ye feel just noo,
Whey, the drinkin's sure te feed;
An' hat's the gud o tyeken stuff
Ye shud knaw ye divvent need?

"Just ye leave off the beer at once,
An' then ye'll seun get reet, man;
When once yor of't, ye'll want ne mair-
Gud health's the greetest treat, man.
A sober man's not always dry,
Ti's not nattril that he shud;
So if ye'll tyek a frind's advice,
Hev a try for yor awn gud!"
