’ve been told on this night were unusually hazy—

With no one in sight,

To the left or the right,

Save a well-mounted highwayman fully intent

On obtaining your money, as Dan did his rent,

By bullying, an odd sort of annual pleasantry

That “Repaler” played off on the finest of peasantry;

In so awkward a fix I should certainly say,

By far the best way

Is to take matters easy, and quietly pay;
