Ye Robber
Reading edition
Ye Robber of ye olden day, A jovial blade was he; A short life and a merry one, And then ye gallows-tree. On rich and poor alike he preyed, Nor ever did endow A Learned University As Robber Chiefs do now. Ye modern robber is not known By such an ugly name: He does it more politely. But he does it, just ye same.
