THE FARMER AND HIS DOG, an old fable.
Humbly inscribed to___, and Lord Bute.
  There dwelt a farmer in the West,
  As we're in story told;
  Whose herds were large, and flocks the best
  That ever lin'd a fold.

MORAL
When ministers their Prince abuse,
And on the subjects prey;
With ancient monarchs 'twas in use
To send them Towser's way.
