THE GHOST,
A Tale.
Far in the West there liv'd of old,
An honest yoeman, rich and bold,
Merry his heart as heart could be,
His soul quite open, gen'rous, free,
Hearty he was in all he spoke,
and no man better lov'd a joke,

And Love and Hymen crown'd the bed;
To grace their nuptials he prepar'd
A feast,--and all his friends appear'd;

Bristol., Feb. 19, 1767.
