Martin in this has proved himself a very good man	A

How many sing of wars	B
Of Greek and Trojan jars	C
The butcheries of men	A
The Muse hath a Perpetual Ruby Pen	A
Dabbling with heroes and the blood they spill	D
But no one sings the man	A
That like a pelican	A
Nourishes Pity with his tender Bill	D

Thou Wilberforce of hacks	E
Of whites as well as blacks	E
Pyebald and dapple gray	F
Chestnut and bay	F
No poet's eulogy thy name adorns	G
But oxen from the fens	G
Sheep in their pens	G
Praise thee and red cows with their winding horns	G
Thou art sung on brutal pipes	G
Drovers may curse thee	H
Knackers asperse thee	H
And sly M P 's bestow their cruel wipes	G
But the old horse neighs thee	H
And zebras praise thee	H
Asses I mean that have as many stripes	G

Hast thou not taught the Drover to forbear	F
In Smithfield's muddy murderous vile environ	A
Staying his lifted bludgeon in the air	F
Bullocks don't wear	F
Oxide of iron	A
The cruel Jarvy thou hast summon'd oft	I
Enforcing mercy on the coarse Yahoo	J
That thought his horse the courser of the two	J
Whilst Swift smiled down aloft	I
O worthy pair for this when ye inhabit	K
Bodies of birds if so the spirit shifts	G
From flesh to feather when the clown uplifts	G
His hands against the sparrow's nest to grab it	L
He shall not harm the MARTINS and the Swifts	G

Ah when Dean Swift was quick how he enhanc'd	N
The horse and humbled biped man like Plato	O
But now he's dead the charger is mischanc'd	O
Gone backward in the world and not advanc'd	O
Remember Cato	O
Swift was the horse's champion not the King's	G
Whom Southey sings	G
Mounted on Pegasus would he were thrown	A
He'll wear that ancient hackney to the bone	A
Like a mere clothes horse airing royal things	G
Ah well a day the ancients did not use	G
Their steeds so cruelly let it debar men	A
From wanton rowelling and whip's abuse	G
Look at the ancients' Muse	G
Look at their Carmen	A

O Martin I how thine eyes	G
That one would think had put aside its lashes	G
That can't bear gashes	G
Thro' any horse's side must ache to spy	-
That horrid window fronting Fetter lane	A
For there's a nag the crows have pick'd for victual	D
Or some man painted in a bloody vein	A
Gods is there no Horse spital	D
That such raw shows must sicken the humane	A
Sure Mr Whittle	D
Loves thee but little	D
To let that poor horse linger in his pane	A

O build a Brookes's Theatre for horses	G
O wipe away the national reproach	P
And find a decent Vulture for their corses	G
And in thy funeral track	Q
Four sorry steeds shall follow in each coach	P
Steeds that confess the luxury of wo	O
True mourning steeds in no extempore black	Q
And many a wretched hack	Q
Shall sorrow for thee sore with kick and blow	O
And bloody gash it is the Indian knack	Q
Save that the savage is his own tormentor	F
Banting shall weep too in his sable scarf	M
The biped woe the quadruped shall enter	F
And Man and Horse go half and half	M
As if their griefs met in a common Centaur	F
