The following lines were suggested by an extract 

 identical (names excepted) with the preceding, culled 

 from the columns of a local paper. 



O longer the New Zealander will undersell 

 us now, 

 For mutton here will shortly fall in price. 

 There's a big Sale at Priors Curbeigh, and we'll show 

 our cousins how 

 It is useless shipping here their sheep in ice. 



Mr. Wayte has been instructed, and will mount the 

 rostrum there. 

 And sell to the assembled crowd the stock : 

 Two ponies need no comment ; nor the cows, a 

 useful pair ; 

 But a very different matter is The Flock. 



A leveller consignment Fll wager he's not seen, 

 Than " the Lot" the reverend gentleman has here. 



And if buyers would secure e'en one, their biddings 

 must be keen. 

 And Fm sure they will not buy a score too dear. 



But the company looks puzzled, as it sees not ewes 

 nor ram. 

 And in Mr. Wayte's eye lurks a playful smile.
