"The Carnish Riv-reera! Well, Jane!!
I wonder what that there do mane?

It do say, "you mus' go by these line
Hef you want to find 'ealth and sunshine."
If the picture be true
What the artis' 'ave drew,
We'll do theere wan day when tez fine.
But we can't 'ford the train now-a-days,
So we'll go in our old donkey chaise.
Niver knawd theere or such
A gran' plaace, within touch;
Tho' we've lived 'ere in Carnwall always."
