’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;
