Took your gold, most grimly Offering to

Well, once met robber; was going

The way was rather lonely, though not too
dark to see
That the sturdy rogue who stopped me
there was very fully armed
But l m honest in maintaining that
didn't feel alarmed.
He was painting hard from running, so I,
being still undaunted,
Very boldly faced the rascal and demand

not out of breath,
so L didn't fear his shooting me or stab
bling me to death.
In answer to my questions the highway
man raised an arm
And pointed it straight at me- though T
still felt no alarm;
He did not ask for money, but what he
said was this:
