Hie kummerde selv nit om sein kriegeren, kummerde selv nit om shouspeel hous or om tu ga in de wald, outer aleen fur tu forstelle sein ny kleeden. Hie hadde een kleeding stuck fur ever uor av de dag, en as man sag av een kung, "Hie er in de raad", so sagde man hier allteid: "Hie er in de kleedroum!".

Dee upsette ook twee wevstuolen, en deed as if dee arbeetede, dogh dee hadde nit de littelste op de wevstuol. Trots dat, fruog dee om de feinste silk en de praghtieste gold, dogh dee stickte dat in deer eegne sacken en arbeetede an de inhaldloose wevstuolen till laat in de naght.
