| Notes |
Text: We may search all the market, old Bullshead, 'tis true, / But in vain may we look for a monster like you: / For you
both cut and steal with such stinking tough chops / 'Tis the sight of the horns, where no customer stops; / No beast such
as you, either west, north, or south, / Can be found-- and you're surely the "OLD BULL AND MOUTH.
