A Moral Alphabet/H for Horseman

H WAS A HORSEMAN

who rode to the meet,

And talked of the Pads of the fox as his "feet"—

An error which furnished subscribers with grounds

For refusing to make him a Master of Hounds.

He gave way thereupon to so fearful a rage,

That he sold up his Stable and went on the Stage,

And had all the success that a man could desire

In creating the Part of

"The Old English Squire."

MORAL:

In the Learned Professions, a person should know

The advantage of having two strings to his bow.
