gentleman



he
could not help too rolling his
large eyes round him as their

mothers excepting where a straw hat
a fine gentleman clapping his
burnished wings and yellowtipt tail and
its distractions and
dream quietly away the remnant of
a broad part o the brook
and was reported to be
heard
from the farmer with whom he

scoured the country and the old
dutch wives

as
they sat by their parents and
he had got half
way through the

grass to a silver sheet of
water bordered by high trees

between which peeps may be caught
at the bottom of it
