Whoe'er has gone thro' London street, Has seen a butcher gazing at his meat, And how he keeps Gloating upon a sheep's Or bullock's personals, as if his own; How he admires his halves And quarters--and his calves, As if in truth upon his own legs grown. - Thomas Hood, A Butcher Who finds the heifer dead and bleeding fresh And sees fast-by a butcher with an axe, But will suspect 'twas he that made the slaughter? - William Shakespeare, King Henry the Sixth, Part II (Warwick at III, ii) Why, that's spoken like an honest drovier. So they sell bullocks. - William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing (Benedick at II, i) The butcher in his killing clothes. - Walt Whitman, The Workingmen (pt. VI, st. 32)
