Stow’d snug in thee! stow’d snug in thee!

I am where I would wish to be.

While the rain above and the mud below

Affect me not where’er I go—

Though the sleet and the slush be ankle deep,

What matters while I can ride so cheap?

What matters? etc.

I love, oh how I love to ride,

In cosy converse side by side,

With some sweet sly enchanting one,
