Highwayman

A highwayman robbed a foot passenger of his money.

A boy having sold a cow at the fair at Hereford, was way-laid by a highwayman, who at a convenient place demanded the money; on this the boy took to his heels and ran away but being overtaken by the highwayman, who dismounted, he pulled the money out of his pocket and strewed it about, and while the highwayman was picking it up, the boy jumped upon the horse and rode home.

Tom became a highwayman.

"Stand and deliver, or else!" threatened the highwayman.

And the highwayman came riding— / Riding—riding— / The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

I was a highwayman / Across the coach roads I did ride / With sword and pistol by my side.
