The text below reads:

Dick Thickset came mounted upon a fine black,
A better fleet gelding ne’er hunter did back.
Tom Trig rode a bay full of metal and bone,
And gayly Bob Buxon rode proud on a roan.

But the horse of all horses that rivall’d the day,
Was the Squire’s Neck-or-nothing, and that was a grey,
Hark away, hark away
While our spirits are gay,
Let us drink to the joys of the next coming day.
