EPIGRAM CXLVIII.
[Sir Stately from his chariot nods]
MUTATIS MUTANDIS.
Sir Stately from his chariot nods,
Us ten-toe travellers meeting;
And plumes himself upon the odds
'Twixt riding, and hoof-beating.
Us ten-toe travellers meeting;
And plumes himself upon the odds
'Twixt riding, and hoof-beating.
That odds there are, must needs be said:
That odds should be, we choose;
Till he has for his carriage paid,
As we have for our shoes.
That odds should be, we choose;
Till he has for his carriage paid,
As we have for our shoes.
