fields and all covered over with the huest
hocks you or me ever saw. / gathered
together a hundred or two of the small
est of them" says he-for the biggest
were too big for me to managerial with
these hundred or two he says, 1 came
out on dry land and came home be a near
cut, an hare / am with my fine focks,
al home before ye.'
