A husbandman, who owned the name of Brown,

Had such a heifer as was never matched

In all the homesteads round;

So fine a head, such legs, and buttocks clean,

Small-boned, well-fleshed, its peer was never seen,

Juste milieu—fat and lean.

Farmers admired, and graziers praised galore.

Until the lucky owner vowed and swore,

"The lowest price for't wor a hundred pound."

But we all know that love can't get fat upon flowers,
