I've seen him hunted up and hired.
I've seen him fused at, fit and fired;
I've seen him rise To some renown
And get to represent the town;
The STAFFORD Free Will church began
Through preaching by hired man
With him I've wheeled the woodpie IN
And fiShed where fish was awful thin:
knew his boots. ! knew his cough.
I've touched the pay that paycd him Off

And own a bed on which he slept,
The which. now scrancd Of much japan
Would quite enrich that hired man.
I've also seen him disappear

I've went with dad that very night
Beyond the woods and left light.

Where lie. perhaps, was hiding still
But no; h. sconed our helping plan
He cooked a sheep, that hired man.
But most OF them was straight and neat
And paid their bills and scJapcd THEN

One used to even wash the eggs,
One busted off the grindstonc legs;
Two tracked across the kitchen noor,
Two should have helped the old folks
more,
Three owned colt and one IA span
You see I've seen hired man
Onc day ! read hool; that told
About the Norman knights OF old.
And next day when we cut the swalc
