But forty pounds paid her, her grief shall appease,

And ev'ry man round me may rob, if he please.

Some rob in the customs, some cheat in the 'xcise,

But he who robs both is esteemèd most wise.

Churchwardens, who always have dreaded the halter,

As yet only venture to steal from the altar.

But now to get gold

They may be more bold

And rob on the highway, since honest Wild's cold;

For Blueskin's sharp penknife has set you at ease,
