When first you stride your merry Brute,
Observe the Saddle and the Boot.
Rise on your Left Side, never fail,
Your Face else will be towards the Tail:
And, when you would your Steed restrain,
Your Bridle's better than the Main.
Have a care of a Fall, nor be too severe;
Never stick in both Spurs to stop his Career.
 

This is the Fellow of whom there went a Story about Ball's throwing him.
