EARL OF CRAVEN AND MR. T. DUFFIELD 279 



Of the good ones that he's bred 



He seldom ever brags, 

 And they go home with their sterns up 



In the evening. 



You know John Treadwell, &c. 



All you who love the sport 



Will, I am sure, be pleased to hear 

 Old John has saved enough 



To keep him while he's here ; 

 It is in a good investment, 



So he has nought to fear, 

 He could fetch it out 



On any Monday morning. 



You know John Treadwell, &c. 



Then here's to John Treadwell, 



He is a good old soul ; 

 And like ourselves 



He is fond of the bowl. 

 We hope it may be many years 



Before his knell doth toll, 

 For you don't meet such a huntsman 



Every morning. 



You know John Treadwell, &c. 



During Mr. Thomas Duffield's mastership 

 Treadwell rode, among others, a chestnut mare, 

 and a brown mare with a silver tail. He went 

 well, in a way peculiarly his own, on anything ; 

 but when mounted on either of these, or on 

 the roan horse, " Merry Andrew," which 

 carried him so well for so many seasons, he 

 was, indeed, hard to beat over a country.
