This spiteful toad, of monstrous size,
Whilst walking they have been.
All folks believe within the shire
The story to be true,
And they all run to Spindleston,
The cave and trough to view.
This fact now Duncan Frasier
Of Cheviot, sings in rhyme;
Lest Bambrough-shire-men should forget
Some part of it in time.
