Why plod when you can ride so cheaply? There is no need to ponder deeply. I ’ll warrant he ’ll not bite nor kick you; I ’ve not the slightest wish to stick you! However short you are, you ’re suited, For low-stand men can mount when booted. Come, buy my steed with manner gracious. He ’ll aid your reading of Horatius.
