A LEGEND OF ANDY"
Now later I pray,
To a tale of Cathy,
A legend not published before,
Though known to but few. 'I was told it were true. Ben man who the incidente gaw,

Where the natives enjoy

All the right till he rises best day,
See the nien, great and small,
Take to bat zid to ball, White tho ladies sit watching the play, Isoking Bay, Sigle, and past scandale recall."
Bur eato though it scenas
For two neighbouring tenis
To play a small match on this ground,
Yet dangers exist,
For a man is of inized, When a tiger is prayling around,
