I can't at the moment recall the title, but there's a song
to the effect that the farmer sent his daughter to deliver the
rent to the landlord.

By some smart trickery, she gets him to dismount, and she
jumps on his horse and rides home with the loot in his
saddlebags to give to her father. I may be confusing this
with a similar song, but I think I remember that the farm
horse, with the rent, follows, so that she comes home with
the rent, the loot, and the robber's horse, her horse following.
