A regular thoroughbred Irish horse,

Why, he ran away, as a matter of course,

With a girl worth her weight in guineas!

LXXXVIII.

Mayhap 'tis the trick of such pamper'd nags

To shy at the sight of a beggar in rags,—

But away, like the bolt of a rabbit,—

Away went the horse in the madness of fright,

And away went the horsewoman mocking the sight—

Was yonder blue flash a flash of blue light,
