Rh For wot you do in other things

Is neither 'ere nor there,

But w'en it comes to 'orses

You must keep upon the square.

Now I'm tellin' you the story

Just as it was told last night,

And if I wrong this Arab man

Then 'e can set me right;

But s'posin' all these fac's are fac's,

Then I make bold to say

That I think it was not sportsmanlike

To act in sich a way.

For, as I understand the thing,

'E went to sell this steed—

Which is a name they give a 'orse

Of some outlandish breed—,
