Your post of honour is the Road,

And longer not to be withstood.

There's none dare venture the expression

A Highwayman's a low profession;

A short life and a merry one,

Make one grand splash, and all is done!

One last advice you'll say is owing,—

When to be hang'd you find you're going,

Which, for the robbing of your Master,

Or some contingent slight disaster,—
