- (continued from previous page)(VII)Through bog and fen tho' hunted still,
To upper hill I hastened
To Galteemore my course I bore,
And sat on Dawsons table,
I entertained the pleasing hope's
That in those dreadful places,
My fell pursuers would sure be thrown,
And the falls prove surely fatal.

Like all vain speculations,
For down Frisheen just at my heels,
They tore like hellish demons,
At the church ford I crossed the stones,
For courage never failed me,
And such fine speed as then I showed,
Will not be seen for ages.(continues on next page)
