| Farmer Banks's Bull |
Chorus of Farm Hands.
Scene—A Farmyard. R. a stall, from which the head of the Bull is visible above the half-door. Enter Farmer Banks with a cudgel.
Farmer B. (moodily).
When roots are quiet, and cereals are dull,
I vent my irritation on the Bull.
[We have Miss Taylor's own authority for this rhyme.
Come hup, you beast! (Opens stall and flourishes cudgel—the Bull comes forward with an air of deliberate defiance.)
Oh, turning narsty, is he?
