But Choppers he says, and he looks very bold,

That the meat which he sells is the best ever sold.

But oh! oh! oh! Joe Podgers doth know

Where many a calf of his worst doth go.

Joe Podgers reclines in his easy chair

Without ever dreaming of strife:

But the dead-meat inspector is heard to declare

That the time for a summons is rife.

And the magistrate has a most critical tongue,

And condemns Podgers’ meat to the dogs to be flung.
