XXXIII + 

Yet on a frosty winter day + 

The journey in a sledge doth please, + 

No senseless fashionable lay + 

Glides with a more luxurious ease; + 

For our Automedons are fire + 

And our swift troikas never tire; + 

The verst posts catch the vacant eye + 

And like a palisade flit by. + 

The Làrinas unwisely went, + 

From apprehension of the cost, + 

By their own horses, not the post⁠— + 

So Tania to her heart’s content + 

Could taste the pleasures of the road. + 

Seven days and nights the travellers plod. + 
