Local Song
“You whilst absent draw near me”
You Muses whilst absent draw near me,
Whilst I endeavour to sing
Of a method concerning horse-breaking
That is needful approaching Spring
This mare is of excellent breeding
Her colour is of a dark brown
She is well noted for swiftness
Going through each country and townShe is fed on three par old oats, that's in Mogar [?]
And used up to the present day,
For hunting she had a desire
When she first tasted Bertram's hay.When surrounded by a lob of stout heroes,
Well fitting to join any corp
Young Owen and young Richard the 'Golly'
Backed up by 'Juggie Phil More'.- Informant
