THE POSTS AND PADDOCK PUZZLES.
I have a paddock found, which is neither square nor round,
But an octagon; and this I have laid out
In a novel way, though plain in appearance, and retain
Three posts in each compartment; but I doubt
Whether you discover how I apportioned it, e’en though
I inform you ’tis divided into four.
But, if you solve it right, ’twill afford you much delight,
And repay you for the trouble, I am sure.
