A fight ensued and Cozzens knocked
Renzia down with the rifle. Renzia
afterwards arose. and fired shot at

Ruth.


She stood breast high amid the corn.
Clasped by the golden light of morn.
Like the sweetheart of the sun.
Who many a glowing kiss had won.
On her cheek an autumn flush
Deeply ripened-such a blush
In the midst OF brown was born.
Like red peoples grown with corn.
Round her eyes her tresses fell;
Which were blackest none could tell.
But long lashes veiled a light
That had else been all too bright.
And her hat. with shady brim.
Made her tressy forehead dim.
Thus she stood among the stocks.
Praising God with sweetest looks.
Sure, / said, heaven did not mean
Where l reap thou shouldst but CLEAN
Lay thy sheaf adown and come.
Share my harvest and my home

"Of members, ye tongue Is worst OF

In 1886 Thomas Hartley of Virginia
wrote of his witnessing the execution
of a ducking stool sentence:

one Betsy Walker. who by ye violence
of her tonge made her house and hel

1t seems strange to read that almos
within the memory Of persons still
living Mrs. Anne Royal was sentenc

Some months later he returned to
South Africa disguised and passing

the new friends of his former visit he
made his way up country to a place
