round. THE STAGE COACH. Ah! when the wold vo'k went abroad They thought it vast enough, If vow'r good ho'ses beaet the road Avore the coach's ruf; An' there they zot, A-cwold or hot, An' roll'd along the ground, While the whip did smack On the ho'ses' back, An' the wheels went swiftly round, Good so's; The wheels went swiftly round. Noo iron rails did streak the land To keep the wheels in track. The coachman turn'd his vow'r-in-hand, Out right, or left, an' back; An' he'd stop avore A man's own door, To teaeke en up or down: While the reins vell slack On the ho'ses' back, Till the wheels did rottle round ageaen; Till the wheels did rottle round.

An' they thought they past The pleaeces vast, Along the dousty groun', When the whip did smack On the ho'ses' back, An' the wheels spun swiftly roun'. Them days The wheels spun swiftly roun'. WAYFEAREN. The sky wer clear, the zunsheen glow'd On droopen flowers drough the day, As I did beaet the dousty road Vrom hinder hills, a-feaeden gray; Drough hollows up the hills, Vrom knaps along by mills, Vrom mills by churches tow'rs, wi' bells That twold the hours to woody dells. An' when the winden road do guide The thirsty vootman where mid flow The water vrom a rock bezide His vootsteps, in a sheenen bow; The hand a-hollow'd up Do beaet a goolden cup, T
