"Hold hard! hold hard! you'll lame the dogs:"

Quoth Huggins, "so I do,—

I've got the saddle well in hand,

And hold as hard as you!"

And now he bounded up and down,

Now like a jelly shook:

Till bump'd and gall'd—yet not where Gall,

For bumps did ever look!

And rowing with his legs the while,

As tars are apt to ride;
