[So when a Horseman from the watry Mead]

So when a Horseman from the watry Mead
(Skill'd in the Manage of the bounding Steed)
Drives four fair Coursers, practis'd to obey,
To some great City thro' the publick Way:
Safe in his Art, as Side by Side they run,
He shifts his Seat, and vaults from one to one:
139

And now to this, and now to that he flies:
Admiring Numbers follow with their Eyes.
