And while he was popping it into his purse,
To make him amends I came off with his horse."
The master he laughed till his sides he had to hold,
He says, "For a boy thou hast been very bold;
And as for the villain thou hast served him right,
Thou hast put upon him a clean Yorkshire bite."
He searched his bags and quickly he told,
Two hundred pounds in silver and gold,
And two brace of pistols; the lad said, "I vow,
I think, canny master, I've sold well your cow."
