Early the _milkmaid_ to the meadow hies, / And the _red Cow_ her empty pail supplies.
This is the good-natured _Cow_ to which we are all so much obliged. She / comes, poor thing! in the morning, and brings her udder full of milk / for our breakfast, and the same at night for our supper. To her we are / indebted for our custards, cheesecakes, curds and cream, as well as for / our milk, butter, and cheese.
