    verse:-
    "Get for me an acre of land,
    Between the seashore and the strand;
    Plough it up with a ram's horn,
    And seed it with one grain of corn,
    When you've done and finished your work,
    Call to me for a cambric shirt"
    When he met the ghost again, he repeated the verse, and the ghost disappeared and was never seen again.
