But that he fear'd his master had
Took order for his stay. 120
Unto his uncle then
He rode with might and main, Who with a welcome and good cheer
Did Barnwell entertain.
One fortnight's space he stayed, ia>
Until it chanced so, His uncle with his cattle did
Unto a market go.
His kinsman rode with him,
Where he did see right plain, 130
Great store of money he had took:
When, coming home again,
Sudden within a wood,
He struck his uncle down, And beat his brains out of his head ; 135
So sore he crackt his crown.
Then seizing fourscore pound,
To London straight he hyed, And unto Sarah Millwood all
The cruell fact descryed. no
" Tush, 'tis no matter, George, So we the money have
120. i. e. for stopping and apprehending him at his father's. VOL. VIII. 15 |
