But teach your horses, when you're toping,

The art to stand stock-still and moping.

Tell Master that they're getting old,

And "one on 'em has got a cold,"

When at the alehouse you've a call,

And not inclined to drive at all.

If Master takes a short excursion,

Get drunk, and play up 'Mag's diversion;'

Pass some deep pit close to the brink,

To show you're none the worse for drink;
