He pulls a book, and picks a note.

'That's Ten,' says he—'I hope to pay

Tens upon tens for loads of hay.'

'With all my heart, and soon,' says I,

And feeling for the change thereby;

But all my shillings com'd to five—

There's something in your honest phiz

I'd trust, if twice the sum it is;—

You'll pay next time you come to town.'
