“The ox that is for honour grown,

On oilcake must be fed;

On barley-meal, hog, boar, or sow,

And tubs of wash to swig;

That’s how you cram the hugest ox,

And stuff the fattest pig.”

So round his neck the prize was tied,

And then they went to dine,

Which makes a farmer’s heaven on earth,

When beef and beer combine;
