Above yc deep and danksome dell
Beneath ye gloomy wood,
Y e wind it howled ;i dismal strain,
Y e knight he howled for blood;
But as he stoic along, a bull
Espied ye lantern dim,
And whilst he liuntcd Sam-u-el,
Y e bull it hunted him !
When it flow in, ye light flew out;
Y e knight flew, with a cry;
His coat-tails they flew out behind ;
His legs how they did fly i
Y c stovepipe!; flew; yc stove-1 ids, too;
His weapons went to pot;
Sir Mosc arose upon his toes:
He just got up and got!

With those great horns, three dolh-yards long,
A whistling in ye wind,
So on ye knight sped, like some cur
Wit.h a tin can behind.
For e'en a''most two miles he fled;
Nigh tuckered ot.it was he,
When out of danger’s way he clonib
Into an apple-tree,
Whereon he hung a-sbi vermg
And shrieking at ye beast,
Till Sam-u-el came out to work,
When day dawned in ye east,

Forsooth, Sam-u-el’s rage waxed hot;
Then loud he 'gan to laugh :
