Double Brace: Pot ‘oles. Unless tha’s careful on thi ways, Providence Pot will end thi days. Watch out when striding over th’ill, Especially near to Gaping Gill. If tha wants to keep all thi bones ‘ole, Don’t go fallin’ into Boggart’s ‘Ole. If on th’edge tha tries to sit, Tha’ll be dahn Hunt Pot, that evil slit. If tha slips and slides on t’Devil’s Cup, That monstrous ‘ole will eat tha up. Don’t go thinking tha’s bold and brave, Tha’ll tremble and shake afore Yorda’s Cave. Tha’ll think tha’s dee’ad and gone to t’devil, If tha tries to climb down Ibbeth Peril. T’watter goes dahn and niver comes back, And nather will thee swallowed up bi t’black. So say thi prayers and save thi soul, And keep thi body from t’ dark pot ‘ole. Joseph Haverthwaite 1852.
