    (continued from previous page)
    It was in pretence of this offence, he dragged me off to jail,
    Alone to dwell in a cold cell, my fate for to bewail.
    My hoary head on a plank bed, such wrongs for vengence call;
    He will rue the day he dragged away the Hackler from Grousehall.
    His raid on dogs is surely flogs and shocking to behold;
    He will pull up a six months pup and swear he is two years old.
    Out side of hell a parallel can not be found at all;
    For this vile imp and Devils pimp the sergeant at Grousehall.
    Loesition[?] now is all the row and peelers on their beat.
    I think it strange how times are changed, so very much of late.
