Mazeppa, although he was stripp'd so stark,

Mazeppa couldn't outstrip her!

XCIII.

The fields seem running away with the folks!

The Elms are having a race for the Oaks

At a pace that all Jockeys disparages!

All, all is racing! the Serpentine

Seems rushing past like the "arrowy Rhine,"

The houses have got on a railway line,

And are off like the first-class carriages!
