Through which she sprang with impulse unrestrained,

Her very swiftness had abstracted breath—

And on her hoof a substance green was found

Which soon, ’twas marked, was nothing else than cheese;

That so ’twould seem she had all but o’ertopped

In that one bound the far far distant moon,

A portion of whose substance there appeared

Hoof-stricken, and adhering to its foe,

To warn all others from such lofty leaps.

Then was there mourning for the direful death;
