Vet. (to Stable-help). Takes your green stuff better?

Stable-help. True, Sir!

Groom. But too much o' that won't do, Sir.

Can't live on tares entirely! (Aside.) This here boy's too full of beans.

Vet. Ah! I see the whole position. He's a bit out of condition,

Wants a tonic and skilled treatment. Yes, no doubt that's what it means.

With an appetite that's picksome comes a temper tart and tricksome,

But a pick-me-up—I'll send one—will, I'm sure set all that square.

And if there's further wasting, then, without too headlong hasting,

Give him, as soon as possible—a little Country Air!
