As 1 was a -walking on Cbilbniton Dunn
1 saw an old farmer there driving to town,
A -jogging to market behind his old grey,
So I jumped up beside him, and thus be did say ;
"My boy he beflgbUt', • fine "tropism' lad,
I gave he to Ragland, the one boy f had ;
My boy he be flghtin' out over the foam,
An' here be I frettin' an' mopoio' at home.
"But if these be times when 'tis just about hard
WI'out hu strong arm in the field an' tote yard.
Why, I plucks my old heart up an' flicks the old wry.
An' this is the tune that her heels seem to say :
" 'Oh the hoof an' t$ie horn, the roots ns' the corn,
The flock in the told an' the pigs in the pen,
Rye-grass so' clover an' barns brimmin' over,
They feed the King's horses an' feed the King's men,'
"Then 1 looks at my furrows to seethe corn spring
Like little green sword -blades all drawn for the King ;
An' 'tis 'Get up, old Bee, there be plenty to do
For old chaps like me an'.old horses like you.
''My boy he in Flanders, he's youngen' he's bold.
But they will not have we, lar., for we he duo old,
