Come end o’ growin’ season,
 One Eye has done work ont nine
 an goes wi Baugi to see
 Eavy wi Drink abaht sup o’ mead.

 ‘Eavy wi Drink says “Tha
 offered what’s mine, Baugi
 wi art a word to me.
 No, he cannot av a sup.
 The bleeding gall o’ ye!”

 One Eye, says ‘Abaht r bargain? 
 “If he won’t agree to yourn
 bargain wi me then
 you’ve got to gi us leg up t’
 get inta Tha Wanna Scrap’s cave.”
 ” I’m ashamed o’ ma bloody bro.
 Aye, I’ll help thee. It’s least…”

 Baugi leads way to nearest part
 o’ t’ cave.  One Eye teks an auger
 from unna his cloak, hands it
 to Baugi for him to drill

 through t’ rock. Baugi does so,
 and after much towin’ announces
 “T ‘ oyle’s finished.”

 One Eye blows inta t’oyle
 an rock-dust blows back
 inta his kite,
 he  knows Baugi lies.

 One Eye says “Tha should finish
 what tha start.”  So giant drills agin.
 Baugi proclaims ” T’oyle’s done”

 One Eye blows into t’ oyle.
 There’s no blowback. One Eye
 says “Cheers mate.” changes
 inta a snake an slithers through t’oyle.

 Baugi stabs auger atta him
 but One Eye meks it through
 Once inside, he changes agin
 inta a young man an meks his way

 to where Tha Wanna Scrap  guards
 mead. He wins her favour an she says

 “If tha’ll sleep with us fo’ three neets
 I’ll  gi ye three sips o’ us mead. ”
 Atta’d third night, One Eye goes
 t’ mead, which is in three vats, drinks contents on all in single sup.

 He changes into an eagle,
 flies off toward big lads oam
 with his prize in his throat.

 ‘Eavy Wi Drink discovers One Eyes’  trick changes to an eagle an all an giz chase

 When the big lads see boss
 ont way wi ‘Eavy Wi Drink close
 behind they set art several
 vessels at edge o’ t’ oam.

 One Eye reaches oam
 afore ‘Eavy can catch him,
 and ‘Eavy backs off.

 As One Eye comes to t’ vessels
 he throws up mead into them
 like a bird to its bairns.

 Few drops fall from his beak to us
 here. These drops are t’ source on all
 skills a bad an mediocre poets an scholars.

 True poets and scholars
 One Eye giz his mead
 hissen and wi care.

 Raise thee jars nar, a final
 as tha needs a kip.
 Time t’ get some
 shuteye an fast on.

One Eye disguises himsen as a refugee
 farmhand an goes to farm
 of ‘Eavy wi Sup’s brother, Baugi,

 an finds nine servants mowing hay.
 He teks art a whetstone
 from unna his cloak,
 offers to sharpen their scythes.

 They eagerly agree and attawards
 marvel how well their scythes
 cut hay. They all say
 “That’s finest whetstone
 I’ve ever seen.
 ‘ow much tha want for it?”

 One Eye answers “Aye, I’ll
 part wi it,
 but,” he warns them,
 “you must pay a high price.”

He throws stone into the air
 an in their scramble
 keen blades an scuffle
 kill each other.

 One Eye then goes to Baugi’s door
 says ” Me names Worker o’ Misfortune
 an as yon nine farmhands
 a yourn av sought
 to so basely kill
 each other over
 a dispute in field
 am offerin’ to do
 work on all nine.”

 “As reward, I’ll Av
 a sip of ‘Eavy wi Sup’s mead.”

 Baugi says ” I’ve no control of mead
 and me bro guards it jealously,
 but if tha can perform work o’ nine
 men reight
 I’ll help thee get some sup on it.”
