Dick Thickset came mounted upon a fine black,
A better fleet gelding ne’er hunter did back.
Tom Trig rode a bay full of metal and bone,
And gayly Bob Buxon rode proud on a roan.
But the horse of all horses that rivall’d the day,
Was the Squire’s Neck-or-nothing, and that was a grey,
Hark away, hark away
While our spirits are gay< Let us drink to the joys of the next coming day. Engraved by Hunt after painting by Francis Calcraft Turner (1795-1846) a painter known for his racing and hunting scenes. Later 19 th century strike Hand colored aquatinted engraving. 13 x 16 inches, sheet.
