Usage in poetry
Larn me different calls o' birds
At wing ower Merriegill brae,
An' t' music o' fire on Morrowby Fell,
Wheer noisy wind-childer play;
Then he gave a hitch to his trousers, which
Is a trick all seamen larn,
And having got rid of a thumping quid,
He spun this painful yarn:
Can thoo call hounds off when t' scent's breast high?
Or larn a linnet to trill?
Or forbid a Romany heart to roam
At t' whisper o' lile April?
And if the honest truth were told,
Its heel confessed the need of darning;
"Gods!" low-bred Vulcan cried, "behold!
There! that's what comes of too much larning!"

At Miëlmas; an' I be zorry vor'n.

That ain't what's up. I only kem to tell ye--
Sportin' or courtin'--trot homeward for your life!

Larned there was one had no wish to be--a wife.
