English pronunciation part 1 and 2

Dearest creature in creation

Study English pronunciation

I will teach you in my verse

Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse

I will keep you, Suzy, busy

Make your head with heat grow dizzy.

Tear in eye, your dress will tear

So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.

Just compare heart, beard, and heard,

dies and diet, lord and word,

Sword and sward, retain and Britain

(Mind the latter, how it´s written)

Now I surely will not plague you

With such words as plague and ague.

But be careful how you speak:

Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;

Cloven, oven, how and low

Script, receipt, show, poem and toe.
