Rh And other sich expressions

With which I can't agree,

For a 'orse with wings an' braids an' things

Is not the 'orse for me.

The moment that 'e 'ad the cash—

Or wot ' e called the gold,

'E turned as nasty as could be.

Says 'e, 'You're sold! You're sold!'

Them was 'is words; it's not for me

To settle wot he meant;

It may 'ave been the 'orse was sold,

It may 'ave been the gent.

I've not a word to say agin

His fondness for 'is 'orse,

But why should 'e insinivate

The gent would treat 'im worse?
