A skilful collection of choice Cheviot rams,
And also the best breed of bleak border lambs;
Hard hogs from the Highlands, some long, and some short,
And some sightly samples of Leicester sort;
Some South Downs, some Dishleys, some Dorsets, and Harts,
Some Bedfords, and Bakewells, grace mayor Millar’s marts.
This marvellous mayor did some patterns produce,
May prove to the public of infinite use;—
His beasts from the Dearboughts[67]—cow-kyloes, and queys,
Did breeders and feeders and butchers surprise;
