But chiefly 'twas on her all eyes were fix'd,

And women wondered what she could have got

For making of herself a show; and men

Opined that cotton wool she'd freely used;

And one low churl, compact of thankless earth,

Drawing a pin and rushing at her horse

Prick'd—but it was no good, the steed jogged on

As theretofore: and thanks to frequent bangs

And shouts of "Right" did reach the end at last

Of the day's progress, much to its delight.
