tha may ask thee sen
what happened
to Deceiver an Screamer
an this mead
well, ‘nother day
they teks giant Gilling art to sea
drahn him fo’ sport.
Gilling’s wife weep galls them
so much as she passes
under doorway
o’ their house they drop
a millstone on her.
Gilling’s son, called ‘Eavy wi Sup
learns o’ his father’s murder,
he seizes Screamer an Deceiver
at low tide, teks ’em art to a reef
soon t’ be covered by wet wash
o’ waves. Two lads say “Don’t let
us die ‘Eavy. Please don’t.”
‘Eavy wi Sup says “al let thee go
if tha gis me tha mead”
he hides mead
in a cave unna a mountain
called Throbbin’ Rock
an asks his daughter
called ‘Tha wanna scrap’
who agrees to look atta it.
****
Nar One Eye, chief of big lads,
fidgets an is not bakkards
at coming forard
in his want o’ wisdom,
is reight naffed off
wi rich mead hoarded
away unna a mountain.
He wants it fo’ himsen
an other’s as is worth it.
