Scotch farmer amused himself by writing a
ballad upon it, which 50 stung one of the
Enolish officers, who had behaved very
basely upon the occasion, that he sent the

farmer busy with his hay fork, TO whom he
delivered the challenge Of the redoubtable
hero. The good-natured farmer, turning
towards him with the agricultural imple-
