"A favourite Cow" from 1861
'Oh! Jersey poor Jersey she no more will be seen, With grace and with dignity pacing the green;
By her the young Bullock's can no longer be led, For "Old Jersey" the queen of the meadow- is dead! 24"

'Pony of genuine Exmoor Race, Thy Memory will this Tablet grace, In temper docile, willing, free:
In fleetness few could vie with thee:
Thy age was Thirty years, and one:
Thy strength then fail'd and thy were done!
