    (continued from previous page)
    To repair that wretched farm that caused his destely,
    His pocket been well loaded and it stood for some year's,
    In paying heavy scesses without much dread or fear,
    At length his crops were failing him
    All in he could not stay,
    He was resolved to leave his home and draw his crops away.
