New-York, August 5th, 1736.


EPIGRAM.

Cries logical Bob to Ned, if you dare,

A Bet, which has most legs, a mare or no mare,

A mare to be sure, replies Ned with a grin;

And fifty I’ll lay, for I’m certain to win;

Quoth Bob, you have lost, sure as you are alive,

A mare has but four legs, and no mare has five.
