“ An' 'tis said the city talent very often caught a tartar
In the Grog-an'Grumble sportsman, 'n' retired with broken heads,
For the fortune, life, and safety of the Grog-an'-Grumble starter
Mostly hung upon the finish of the local thorough-breds.
Pat M`Durmer was the owner of a horse they called the Screamer,
Which he called the “quickest shtepper 'twixt the Darling and the sea” ”
