‘Then here’s a swarm of Butchers,[67] great and small,

‘Some for the Carcase, others for the Stall.

‘One Master Butcher[68] o’er the rest presides,

‘And with the Patron usually resides:

‘Their Journeymen, Apprentices, and Men,

‘Distributed among each Flock and Pen.[69]

‘’Tis wisely done to have them on the Spot,

‘To keep them free from Murrain, and the Rot:

‘Dexterous they are, and in their judgment sound,

‘To amputate a Limb, and cure a Wound.
