Bradford Degeneration Correct but not Politically Correct

From the York Evening Press, Sept 7, 1904

A correspondent sent a rhymed explanation of the Yorkshireman's coat-of-arms, which has for its subscription "Tak' hod an' sup, lad," and is the sign of The Black Swan at York. The rhyme was

"A Flea, a Fly, a Magpie, an' Bacon Flitch;
Is t'Yorkshireman's coit-of-arms;
An' t'reasons they've chossen these things so rich;
Is becoss they hev all speshal charms;
A flea will bite whoivver it can;
An' soa, my lads, will a Yorkshireman.
A fly will sup with Dick, Tom, or Dan;
An' soa, by Gow! will a Yorkshireman.
A magpie can talk for a terrible span,
An' soa, an' all, can a Yorkshireman.
A flitch is no good whol it's hung, ye'll agree,
No more is a Yorkshireman, don't ye see!"

I actually originally found it on Google in a book dated (assuming I can remember my roman numerals, 1790) but the above does the accent rather better.
