But Gilligapous grip'd the Mare,
And all Don Quixotte's ill-gain'd gear;
When Rosinante he had mounted,
A doughty knight he was accounted
By some, tho' never man rode worse,
Or young child on a hobby horse;
Like hen-peck'd husband, riding the stang
He by the mane, and tail, and knees hang,
Attended with a mighty noise
Of whores, and knaves, and fools and boys;
And never being bred to riding,
Lighting, he left her to the guiding
Of Jockey Bob, a hackney rider,
And then much sorrow did betide her.
