"THE HORSE RIDE MOSTr'
Just listen, dear esprit" Eve taken to rhyming,
And would speak Cf my horse without meaning to boas
Although it ne'er goes at pace that's worth timing
1t still is the nag that ride the most.
For forty past seasons she has carried me safely,
Yet now, to appearance, is just in her prime
Though not quite so antc, she still goes it bravey.
And is bound to 60 through only give her the time.
'Tistrue that sometimes she gets jaded and tired,
And is not perhaps in condition to show,
When none but tryant, with horse he had hired.
Would then have insisted on making her go.
At such times as these she'd nearly give under,
When few hours resting would bring her all right;
And she seldom is known to stumble or blunder
Excepting at times when the owner gets tight.
Perhaps 'twould be we'll to speak of her keeping,
With what to the will of her master she's bent,
Like the ,teed of the Arab she does all sleeping
Along with her owner in the very same tent.
She goes at my bidding without saddel or briddel.
But seldom. if ever, is aow'd to 60 bare;
In whatever am doing she never is Idle,
For in all ny labors she takes her full share.
The sportman may brsg of his two forty flyer,
And back up his speedwth what cash he spare;
But Pm bound to take it, and bet him still higher
That can out 60 him with Shanks' old mare
