Was beat with fist instead of a stick,
is, singularly enough, no rhyme at all; but the surprise of the echo, and the truth conveyed in it, affect us as if it were perfect. Here are one or two more of the wilful order, very ludicrous:—
"—— The captive knight
And pensive squire, both bruised in body
And conjured into safe custody.
