Here's a version in modernised spelling of Sir Robert Pipon Marett's poem about a bachelor's second thoughts:
Lé Vièr Garçon
Qu'i' sont heutheurs, les vièrs garçons.
I' n'ont ni êfants ni maîsons,
Ni femmes à lus badrer la tête.
Jé di pouor mé, qu'i' faut êt' bête,
Quand nou-s'est libre et sans souci,
Dé prendre eune femme pouor vos pliaidgi.
Jé n'lé f'thai pon! - nânnîn! - nânnîn!
Quand nou-s'est bein, i' faut s'y t'nîn!
Nan nan! nan nan! jé n'lé f'thai pon!
Jé restéthai bouôn vièr garçon!
