A hideous roar

Proclaimed a drove of beasts was coming by the way.

Long-horned, and short, of many a different breed,

Tall, tawny brutes, from famous Lincoln-levels

Or Durham feed;

With some of those unquiet black dwarf devils

From nether side of Tweed,

Or Firth of Forth;

Looking half wild with joy to leave the North,—

With dusty hides, all mobbing on together,—
