But keep the King's Peace, and surrender your cash, Or each inch of your hide I'll contrive well to thrash. So seeing how things stood in this evil hour, And fearing hard blows would come down in a show'r, So says I to myself, I don't like to be bang’d, So I'll presently threaten this thief with being hang'd; For may be he's simple and don't know the law, And, by way of reward, I'll escape from his claw. So says I, "Honest man, you'r a robber, I guess, And your neck will be stretch'd, "Sheriff, Hangman, and Surgeon, all bear you a grudge; And in transport high frolicsome bound, 'Till check'd in their speed by the wellknown" take heed," Obedient, they quarter the ground.
