“By thy ungallant bearing and sad mien, + 

An inch appears the utmost thou couldst budge: + 

Yet at the slightest nod, or hint, or sign, + 

Round to the curb-stone patient dost thou trudge, + 

School’d in a beckon, learned in a nudge, + 

A dull-eyed Argus watching for a fare; + 

Quiet and plodding thou dost bear no grudge + 

To whisking tilburies, or phaetons rare, + 

Curricles, or mail-coaches, swift beyond compare.” + 
