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!
