64 SHOOTING : 



If well rubb'd, twice a day, upon the sprain, 

 He soon will go upon four legs again. 



You'll sometimes find, after a long day's fag, 

 A dog will get foot-sore, and often lag 

 Behind, as homeward you from sport retreat; 

 If that the season's warm, then wash his feet 

 With soap and water, for they should suppled 

 Be, and comforted, 'fore he his weary head 

 And body turns, to form a peaceful bed ;

 Diff rent again, must ever be your plan : 

 Then with cold salt and water, bathe the same, 

 If not too bad ; next morn he'll not be lame.

 A cure, if thrice a day you don't neglect 

 Well rubbing in mercurial ointment.
