Rings shall vanish from our noses, And the harness from our back, Bit and spur shall rust forever, Cruel whips no more shall crack. 🔊

The harnessroom at the end of the stables was broken open; the bits, the noserings, the dogchains, the cruel knives with which Mr. Jones had been used to castrate the pigs and lambs, were all flung down the well. 🔊

Boxer and Clover would harness themselves to the cutter or the horserake (no bits or reins were needed in these days, of course) and tramp steadily round and round the field with a pig walking behind and calling out "Gee up, comrade!" 🔊
