Thus, thus, I leap into my seat, and my good fortune bless;

Who overtakes us now must beat a G. N. R. express!

The Horse and his Master.

(A panegyric.)

My—anything but beautiful, that standest “knock-knee’d” by,

“Inverted arch” describes thy back, as “dismal” doth thine eye.

Fret not—go roam the commons now, limp there for want of speed;

I dare not mount on thee (’twere pain), thou bag of bones, indeed.
