Bei.voir Hunt. 31 



And in this fright and piteous case 



He drove to Grantham town, 

 The thorough-breds enjoyed the chase, 



And Baker gained renown. 



To p'liceman '' 8 " he hied him straight, 

 And breathed his tale of strife. 



Of robbers twain, who songht to gain 

 His money, loaves, and life. 



And straight we see in papers three, 



A wonderfnl narration. 

 Of dire attempt at robbery. 



And marvellous preservation. 



Meanwhile Will Goodall tells in mirth, 



Of timorous muffin maker. 

 How many a fox he'd run to earth, 



But ne'er before a baker."
