Connaught

"CONNAUGHT" came to the front again,

This year at London Show;

He well deserved the prize he won,

I think you all well know.

He marched around the show ring,

With heart so light and gay;

There's nothing like good breeding,

Ta's "Denmark" and "Fireaway."

Although he has been laid aside,

His symmetry's the same;

Just as it was in boyhood,

And to the front he came.

And that's induced his owner,

To double his service fee;

So now it's twenty guineas,

And that's too much for me.

"Connaught"

Foaled in 1888

But you can have one of that breed,

By coming to Nothard's Stud;

For he has one by old "Connaught,"

That's equally as good.

His dam is got by old "Danegelt,"

That's so lately passed away;

He was the leading sire,

Of roadsters in his day.

Here you have the finest sire--

Connaught and "Danegelt's" blood--;

That you can find, go where you will,

In any other stud.

And if you have not seen him,

Come down at once and call;

His service fee is very low---

Two guineas pays it all.
