Yes, NE dream rifle too
well, if you dreamed il why [ suppose you
must take that, too; but it's very Singular
- so the white man gave them all into the In

As o er the hill we roamed at will.

We marked chaise, by two bright bays,
Slow-moved along the heather.
Two bays arch-necked with tails erect
And gold upon their blinkers;
And by their side an ass I spied;
1t was travelling tinker's.
The chaise went by nor aught cared I;
Such things are not in my way;
turned me to the thinker, who
Was loafng down by-way;
I asked him where he lived-a stare
Was all got in answer,
As on he trudged; | rightly judgee
The stare said, Where can, sir"
asked him if he'd take Whit
Of 'baCco; he acceded;
He grew communicative too,
"a pipe was all he needed,)

For trades are brisk and trades are slow,
But mine goes on forever"
